Biochemical and Clinical Applications of Glucose Oxidase (GOD)
Glucose oxidase (GOD) is a typical oxidoreductase found in honey and molds such as Penicillium notatum. It can highly specifically catalyze the β-D-glucose reaction to generate gluconic acid, which has the function of converting glucose and removing oxygen. Since GOD can quantitatively generate hydrogen peroxide, it is widely used in the field of biochemistry and clinical examination as a ...

Project - Sublingual Exenatide
Liraglutide and exenatide are both belonging to the class of diabetes products called GLP-1 analogues. The GLP-1 analogues have established themselves in the past years as one of the superior drug classes for treatment of diabetes type II in terms of blood glucose lowering and weight loss. Because of the latter, they are being used more and more also in the treatment of obesity. Until now, both ...

Project - Sublingual insulin+ (fixed dose combination product of insulin and exenatide/liraglutide)
The global human insulin market is projected to surpass USD 40 Billion USD. Our sublingual “insulin+” product will be positioned in a particular segment of this market : it will be prescribed for type II diabetes patients, who do not respond sufficiently to GLP-1 analogues alone. Such a fixed dose combination is already on the market under the brand name Xultophy, which is a ...

Jerusalem firm in funding bid to test ‘micro-pancreas’ on humans
An implantable ‘micro-pancreas’ with the ability to produce insulin in response to blood glucose levels has been created by Israeli scientists. Betalin Therapeutics has tested the technology on animals with some success and is now looking to raise enough funds to be able to put it through clinical trials. It combines cells and a biological scaffolding, which situates those cells and ...

Glucose biosensor based on platinum nanowires: a clinical study
We describe the process of modification of the platinum (Pt) nanowire surface and subsequent immobilisation of enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx) on Pt nanowires (PtNWs) for direct glucose measurement. A cyclic voltammetry technique was used to measure electrochemical oxidation between GOx and glucose. PtNW arrays were first fabricated and then functionalised with cysteamine, which in turn acted as a ...

Diabetes: Medications, Treatments, and Remedies
Lifestyle can have a big impact on how your body handles blood glucose and sometimes a change in habits and activities is all that’s needed to prevent or better manage diabetes. But if changes in lifestyle aren’t enough to keep blood sugar levels normal, your doctor may prescribe medication to help lower insulin levels or insulin therapy. We’ll discuss here the most often ...

Salivary Protein Glycosylation as a Noninvasive Biomarker for Assessment of Glycemia
Abstract Background: Assessment of short-term glycemic control can facilitate monitoring of diabetes development in at-risk individuals and monitoring response to lifestyle modification or medication. We evaluated salivary protein glycosylation levels as a novel, noninvasive, short-term glycemic index in comparison to hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fructosamine, 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), and ...

Drawing into Bloodless Health Monitors
A team of scientists at the University of California, Berkeley developed a wearable sensor to monitor an individual’s health based upon their sweat. The sensor is constructed as a patch with a spiral-patterned microfluidic component where sweat samples can flow and be analyzed.[1] It has shown potential for monitoring sodium and fluid loss, and in some cases potassium.[1] The team would ...
