Abstract

The maximum entrapment efficiency of the chitosan nanoparticles was 95.5% ± 1.25%.

  • Chitosan nanoparticles loaded with Aloe vera exhibited an average particle size of approximately 60 nm.
  • The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration were determined to be 5 and 10 µg/ml, respectively, indicating strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.
  • Infected rats showed increased mRNA expression of TLR2 and TLR4, suggesting heightened inflammatory responses.
  • Treatment with Aloe vera-loaded chitosan nanoparticles resulted in a reversal of the repression of TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA expression in treated rats compared to untreated ones.
