Why can't insulin be given orally to diabetic patients?

  1. Because of structural variation
  2. Its bioavailability will be increased
  3. Human body will elicit strong immune response
  4. It will be digested in Gastro-Intestinal (GI) tract

Answer

(4) It will be digested in Gastro-Intestinal (GI) tract

Solution

Insulin is a protein (polypeptide) hormone.

If taken orally, it is digested by the proteolytic enzymes (pepsin, trypsin, etc.) of the gastro-intestinal tract into amino acids before it can reach the blood.

Hence insulin is given by injection, not orally.

Answer: (4)
