This complication is caused by either the pancreas failing to create enough insulin or the body's cells failing to respond correctly to the insulin produced. Diabetes, if left untreated, can lead to a slew of health issues.

In vitro permeation of ketoprofen nanoemulsion through rat skin was evaluated in Franz diffusion cells and compared with marketed product (Fastum gel). Limonene which has been reported to be a good enhancer for ketoprofen was selected.

- - The study investigates the use of a nanoemulsion for delivering ketoprofen topically, utilizing Palm Oil Esters (POEs) as the oil phase due to its pharmaceutical promise.
- - The oil-in-water nanoemulsion was created through spontaneous emulsification and analyzed for droplet size using advanced techniques like laser scattering and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
- - Results indicate that the droplet sizes are under 500 nm and show promising drug release through an artificial membrane, suggesting that this nanoemulsion method could effectively deliver ketoprofen.
