Metabolic response to intravenous infusion of porcine and semi-synthetic human insulin in insulin-dependent diabetic men. 1986

P J Hale, and A Brimble, and J Crase, and M Nattrass

The response of intermediary metabolite concentrations was measured in six insulin-dependent diabetic men during intravenous low-dose incremental insulin infusion. Insulin was infused during consecutive hours at rates of 0.01 u/kg/h, 0.05 u/kg/h and 0.10 u/kg/h. Each patient was studied on two occasions a month apart using either highly purified porcine or semi-synthetic human short-acting insulin. No difference was observed in the changes in blood glucose, lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, alanine, total ketone bodies or plasma non-esterified fatty acids. Thus no difference could be identified in the actions of intravenous porcine and semi-synthetic human insulin on carbohydrate, fat or ketone body metabolism in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007332 Insulin Infusion Systems Portable or implantable devices for infusion of insulin. Includes open-loop systems which may be patient-operated or controlled by a pre-set program and are designed for constant delivery of small quantities of insulin, increased during food ingestion, and closed-loop systems which deliver quantities of insulin automatically based on an electronic glucose sensor.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
