    Abstract

    The hypoglycemic effect of orally given insulin was studied on rabbits, using different bile salts as absorption promoters, in two different carriers to form an artificial chyloform system ready to be absorbed by intestinal mucosa. The rank order of enhancement by bile salts in the presence of 1% ethanol was deoxycholate>cholate>glycocholate>glycodeoxycholate>taurodeoxycholate>no bile salts. The dose response studies with increased insulin loaded in the chyle showed a greater corresponding hypoglycemic effect with the system of cholate-palmitic-alpha-tocopherol dispersions than the cholate-palmitic acid dispersions. A more effective hypoglycemic effect was achieved using lower doses of the deoxycholate-palmitate-tocopherol-chyle dispersions.
