Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Calcitonin-salmon was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Calcitonin-salmon.

    Summary · context
    In the present work, our goal was to design a new type of nanocapsules, using chitosan chemically modified with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (0.5% and 1% pegylation degree) and to investigate the consequences of this modification on the in vitro and in vivo behaviour of the nanocapsules.
