Abstract

Hydrogels with an increased content of fine pores are synthesized via the copolymerization of acrylamide with N-(2-D-glucose) acrylamide and N,N-methylenebis(acrylamide) in the presence of concanavalin A and mercaptoacetic acid. Insulin introduced into the hydrogels is spontaneously released in response to increase in the concentration of glucose in the environment via a two-step mechanism similar to that in the case of the pancreas and the maximum rate is observed at the first stage.
