Characterization of insulin protection properties of complexation hydrogels in gastric and intestinal enzyme fluids

TLDR
The results suggested that the insulin protection ability of the hydrogels contributed to improve oral insulin absorption and that P(MAA-g-EG) hydrogel can be an excellent carrier for protecting insulin during their transit through the GI tract.

The use of inhibitory agents to overcome the enzymatic barrier to perorally administered therapeutic peptides and proteins

TL;DR: Initial steps in this direction can be seen in the development of delivery system containing mucoadhesive polymers providing an intimate contact to the mucosa, thereby reducing the drug degradation between delivery system and absorbing membrane, controlled release systems which provide a simultaneous release of drug and inhibitor and in the immobilisation of enzyme inhibitors on delivery systems.
