Abstract:

 An everted intestinal sac technique has been used to extensively estimate the transport of regular human insulin in rats. As the preliminary experiments using an injectable vial of the insulin showed a considerable transport of insulin, this composition was used deliberately instead of combination of crystalline form of this substance and a permeation enhancer. Two series of experiments were performed with insulin concentrations of 12 and 3.4 u/ml and concentrations of transported insulin were determined with HPLC in serosal fluid of the sac. The results indicated that, in all experiments about 85% of insulin was transported across the medial jejunum segment of rat during an hour regardless of the insulin concentration used. Therefore, a number of factors such as the excipient incorporated with the insulin, pH, the nature of solvent and its ionic strength may play important role in enhancing insulin transport.
