title: Enhanced bioavailability of insulin after rectal administration with enamine as adjuvant in depancreatized dogs.
abstract: Rectal absorption of insulin by depancreatized dogs was significantly enhanced by the coadministration of enamine as a suppository adjuvant and if this was followed by a further suppository containing enamine alone, the insulin absorption was even further enhanced. The additional enamine suppository resulted in high serum insulin concentrations for a longer time and effected a significant decrease in serum glucose concentrations. To decrease serum glucose concentrations effectively in depancreatized dogs, serum insulin levels had to remain high for a long period of time, rather than be transient.
