A method for treating a cerebrovascular disease according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes administering a composition comprising at least one of melittin and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle loaded with melittin as an effective component to a subject in need thereof. A composition according to an embodiment of the present disclosure for preventing, ameliorating, or treating a cerebrovascular disease includes melittin or magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle loaded with melittin as an effective component. The melittin or magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle loaded with melittin not only can reduce the diameter of cerebral arteries, increase the thickness of cerebral arteries, increase the content of elastin and smooth muscles, and reduce the content of abnormal collagen but also has an effect of suppressing the expression of the factors which mediate an inflammatory response.

Formation of low-crystallinity phytosterol nanoparticles via cooling-controlled supercritical carbon dioxide (SC—CO.sub.2) impregnation of phytosterols into biodegradable nanoporous starch aerogels and methods of preparing these aerogels are disclosed. The nanoporous starch aerogels increase water dissolution and bioaccessibility of the phytosterols, thereby making them available for preparation of high nutraceutical value foods.
