Comparison of insulin antibody levels during the first 3 years of treatment of adult diabetics with monocomponent porcine lente-insulin and single peak beef NPH insulin. 1986

B L Wajchenberg, and Y G Thomsen, and I T Toledo e Souza, and O A Germek

Insulin antibody production was studied in two groups of 9 adult diabetics each, who were never treated before with insulin. One group received Monocomponent porcine lente insulin (MC) and the other group single peak beef NPH insulin, for 3 years. Insulin antibodies were evaluated by antibody-bound immunoreactive insulin (Abl) and by the labelled insulin binding capacity (IBC) which presented a significant correlation best fitted by a logarithmic curve. The patients treated with MC insulin developed significant levels of insulin antibodies, however, at lower levels and appearing later in comparison to those with beef NPH. Only 3 patients did not produce significant levels of insulin antibodies. The highest titers occurred after different lengths of treatment in the two groups of patients. Abl decreased after continuation of treatment particularly in the MC series. While in the MC-treated patients there was some positive correlation between the insulin dose and the level of Abl no significant correlation was found between the diabetes control and insulin antibody titers in both groups of patients.

D007336 Insulin, Isophane An intermediate-acting INSULIN preparation with onset time of 2 hours and duration of 24 hours. It is produced by crystallizing ZINC-insulin-PROTAMINES at neutral pH 7. Thus it is called neutral protamine Hagedorn for inventor Hans Christian Hagedorn.

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.
