Dose-dependent subcutaneous absorption of porcine, bovine and human NPH insulins. 1984

P Hildebrandt, and K Birch, and L Sestoft, and A Vølund

The absorption of 125I-labelled porcine, bovine and human neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulins was compared in 40 diabetic patients after subcutaneous injections in the thighs using doses of 6 and 24 IU (40 IU/ml). Furthermore, the absorption of porcine NPH insulin was compared with bovine NPH insulin and porcine lente type insulin in the same dose (6 IU). All these intermediately acting insulins showed similar absorption rates when administered in the same dose. However, an increase in the injected dose from 6 to 24 IU resulted in a decrease of approximately 30% in the absorption rate of all NPH insulins.

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).

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.
