These pectin-insulin (PI)-containing dermal patches possess the ability to maintain sustained controlled release of insulin into the bloodstream of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats with concomitant reduction of blood glucose levels. We have successfully formulated and optimized the concoction of the PI-containing dermal pa...
