Table 4 PS, PDI, ZP and drug retention % of FST-loaded LPHNPs aqueous dispersions (F3) stored at refrigerated (4 ± 1 °C) and ambient conditions (See Table 1 for F3 composition). Each value represents the ± SD (n = 3). * Significant at p < 0.05 monthly vs. initial, ** Highly significant at p < 0.01 monthly vs. initial, *** Extremely significant at p < 0.001 monthly vs. initial, ### Extremely significant at p < 0.001 refrigerated temperature vs. ambient temperature after 6 months.
