Na. Plate et al., MACROMOLECULAR SYSTEMS CONTAINING INSULIN - A TIE-UP WITH THE PROBLEMOF DIABETES, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 36(11), 1994, pp. 1876-1879
Biological activity of insulin immobilized in a polymer hydrogel modif
ied with a proteolytic enzymes inhibitor was examined in in vitro and
in vivo studies. immobilization of insulin did not affect its biologic
al activity. Oral administration of the immobilized insulin led to a r
eliably reduced concentration of glucose in the blood of test animals.
The efficiency of the orally administered preparation amounted to 80%
of the efficiency of hypodermally injected native insulin.
