Claims20
A method for preventing and/or treating steatorrhea, comprising:
- administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising an effective amount of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), and thereby preventing and/or treating steatorrhea in the subject.
A method for causing a liquid lipid to gel and/or solidify, comprising the step of:
- exposing the liquid lipid to a composition comprising an effective amount of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), and thereby causing the liquid lipid to gel and/or solidify.
A method of causing a liquid dietary lipid to gel and/or solidify for reducing intestinal absorption of the dietary lipid, comprising the step of:
- administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising a effective amount of mesoporous silica, nanoparticles (MSNs), and thereby causing the liquid dietary lipid to gel and/or solidify and reducing intestinal absorption of the dietary lipid in the subject.
