The transport characteristics of insulin were investigated using two different absorption models. Using the modified Valia-Chien chambers, permeability coefficients of insulin in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum were 0.71x10(-7), 7.11x10(-7) and 9.45x10(-7) cm/s, respectively. In the Caco-2 cell monolayers, the bidirectional transepithelial fluxes of insulin across Caco-2 cell line showed symmetry. Confocal laser scanning microscopy visualized that FD-4 and FITC-insulin were mainly located in the paracellular route. It is evident that the lower intestine might be an advantageous region, and absorption enhancer that helps open tight junctions between cells should be used for oral delivery of insulin.

D007082 Ileum The distal and narrowest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between the JEJUNUM and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE.
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
