[Blood lipid adsorption of polyethylene glycol/montmorillonite nanocomposite].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of polyethylene glycol/montmorillonite (PEG/MMT) nanocomposite material in adsorption of triglyceride (TG), cholesterin and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C).


METHODS
The structure of PEG/MMT nanocomposite was analyzed by means of X ray diffraction and its effect of blood lipid and albumin adsorption was evaluated in comparison with Na-MMT.


RESULTS
The interval distance was larger when the PEG of greater molecular weight was used for preparing the nanocomposite, and PEG/MMT nanocomposite had greater adsorption rate of TG, cholesterin and LDL-C in serum than that of serum albumin. MMT material had poor adsorption effect.


CONCLUSIONS
PEG/MMT nanocomposite possesses the potential as a novel adsorbent of blood lipid for clinical use.
