Insulin release from alginate microspheres reinforced with dextran sulfate

In a previous study, insulin was efficiently encapsulated in alginate microspheres using an emulsification /internal gelation process. However, these microspheres showed a high insulin release at gastric pH, exposing the protein to the harsh conditions of the stomach. In this study, our attempt was...
