title: Development, characterization and evaluation of an auto-regulatory delivery system for insulin.
abstract: A self-regulatory delivery system for insulin was designed, based on the competitive and complementary binding behaviour of Concanavalin with glucose and glycosylated insulin. By encapsulating the Con-A bound G- insulin in a suitable polymer membrane, which was permeable to both glucose and insulin, the insulin efflux was regulated in response to glucose influx.
