Glucose- and H2O2-Responsive Polymeric Vesicles Integrated with Microneedle Patches for Glucose-Sensitive Transcutaneous Delivery of Insulin in Diabetic Rats

TL;DR: The transdermal delivery of insulin to the diabetic rats ((insulin + GO x)-loaded MNs) presents an effective hypoglycemic effect compared to that of subcutaneous injection or only insulin- loaded MNs, which indicates the as-prepared MNs insulin delivery system could be of great importance for the applications in the therapy of diabetes.

Polyionic hydrocolloids for the intestinal delivery of protein drugs: alginate and chitosan--a review.

TL;DR: Alginate, being an anionic polymer with carboxyl end groups, is a good mucoadhesive agent and cross-linked alginate has more capacity to retain the entrapped drugs and mixing of alginates with other polymers such as neutral gums, chitosan, and eudragit have been found to solve the problem of drug leaching.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of subcutaneous injection of long-acting human insulin analog glargine, NPH insulin, and ultralente human insulin and continuous subcutaneous infusion of insulin lispro.

TL;DR: Glargine is a peakless insulin, it lasts nearly 24 h, it has lower intersubject variability than NPH and ultralente, and it closely mimics CSII, the gold standard of basal insulin replacement.

Chitosans as Absorption Enhancers for Poorly Absorbable Drugs 2: Mechanism of Absorption Enhancement

TL;DR: The binding and absorption enhancing effects of chitosans on epithelial cells are mediated through their positive charges, which results in a structural reorganisation of tight junction-associated proteins which is followed by enhanced transport through the paracellular pathway.
