      Age-related changes in the liver sinusoidal endothelium, particularly the reduction in fenestrations, contribute to insulin resistance in old age. Metformin impacts on the aging process and improves insulin resistance. Therefore, the effects of metformin on the liver sinusoidal endothelium were studied. Metformin increased fenestrations in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells isolated from both young ...

    • Rapid Intestinal Uptake and Targeted Delivery to the Liver Endothelium Using Orally Administered Silver Sulfide Quantum Dots.

      Quantum dots (QDs) are used for imaging and transport of therapeutics. Here we demonstrate rapid absorption across the small intestine and targeted delivery of QDs with bound materials to the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) or hepatocytes in vitro and in vivo following oral administration. QDs were radiolabeled with <sup>3</sup> H-oleic acid, with a fluorescent tag or <sup>14</su ...
