Abstract:
The delivery of exogenous insulin is very important for the treatment of type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes.Traditional injectable administration is prone to cause hypoglycemia, while the intelligent insulin system has the advantages of safety, long-term effectiveness, and high responsiveness.Glucose oxidase (GOx) can consume O
2 and catalyze glucose to produce gluconic acid and H
2O
2.Therefore, the O
2 level, H
2O
2 content and pH of GOx system are closely related to the glucose level in the system.This review introduces the application of GOx in closed-loop insulin delivery systems at home and abroad in recent years, which can be divided into single response and multiple response of pH-response, hypoxia-response, and H
2O
2-response according to the mechanism.It also discusses the opportunities and challenge facing by the application of GOx in the future.
