一种新的胰岛素凝胶可以取代日常注射,在动物试验中通过皮肤提供胰岛素长达12小时。 A new insulin gel may replace daily injections by delivering insulin through the skin for up to 12 hours in animal tests.

一种新的胰岛素凝胶,用小鼠和猪进行检测,有一天可能不再需要每日注射胰岛素。 A new insulin gel, tested in mice and pigs, may one day eliminate the need for daily insulin injections. 凝胶用PH反应性聚合物制成,调整其形状,通过皮肤传播胰岛素,使糖尿病小鼠和没有刺激的猪的血糖正常化12小时。 Made from a pH-responsive polymer, the gel adjusts its shape to deliver insulin through the skin, normalizing blood sugar for up to 12 hours in diabetic mice and pigs with no irritation. 它的行为就像长效胰岛素, 需要谨慎的剂量以避免低血糖。 It acts like long-acting insulin, requiring careful dosing to avoid low blood sugar. 虽然人类的皮肤不同,但技术显示出无针治疗的前景,可以提供其他蛋白质药物。 While human skin varies, the technology shows promise for needle-free treatment and could deliver other protein drugs. 在它可用之前, 仍需要进行广泛的测试和试验. Extensive testing and trials are still needed before it’s available.
