DSC thermograms (a, b), gel-to-fluid state transition temperature (c), and ΔHcal value (d) of the gel-to-fluid state transition of DLPC-liposomes at various concentrations of γ-CyDs. γ-CyDs were added to DLPC-liposomes suspension. The DLPC concentration was 5 mM. The experiments were performed in the range of 4°C to 70°C using a Microcal MC2 apparatus. The temperature scanning rate was 1°C/min. The gel-fluid state transition temperature and ΔHcal were taken at a peak temperature and a peak area of the DSC thermograms, respectively. Each point represents the mean  ±  SEM of 3 experiments.
