Insulin in w/o/w multiple emulsions: biological activity after oral administration in normal and diabetic rats.

In this work the biological effects of two w/o/w multiple emulsions composed of the soybean oil (EHS) or medium-chain triglycerides (ETCM), containing insulin, were studied. The release mechanism of insulin from multiple emulsions proposed in our previous in-vitro investigations was confirmed by subcutaneous administration. This mechanism is the swelling-breakdown phenomenon which occurs when the emulsions are diluted under hypo-osmotic condition. The biological effect after oral administration, evaluated in two experimental protocols, single administration in normal and diabetic rats and short-term treatment in diabetic rats, shows that in diabetic rats small amounts of biologically active insulin were absorbed from these emulsions. In these experiments no significant difference between EHS and ETCM was found.
