Research Abstract |
Today, the concern about health and diseases increases variously, especially about the medicines for ease and safe. Accordingly, the application of Kampo medicines increases and the demand of medicinal plants also increases dramatically. Recently, the presence of lipid raft has been proposed in plant cell. However, little is currently known about the effects of the components of plant lipid rafts on biomembrane. Therefore, the objective of this study is to elucidate the effects of plant lipid rafts on biomembrane by using Langmuir monolayer technique.
