A new coating for insulin pills could allow the medication to be swallowed, letting diabetics pack away their needles.
Typically, insulin cannot be swallowed, because the body’s stomach acid will destroy the protein before it can be distributed to the bloodstream. In order to protect the insulin longer, a team from Niagara University used patented particles called Cholestosomes—fluid-filled sacks (vesicles) of lipid molecules. According to the team, the lipids that are delivered via the Cholestosomes can travel unharmed through the stomach, where they are absorbed and sent to the bloodstream to then break apart and release the insulin.
