Comparative study of NPH human insulin (recombinant DNA) and pork insulin in diabetic subjects: preliminary report. 1982

J Mirouze, and L Monnier, and J L Richard, and A Gancel, and K B Soua

Continuous blood glucose monitoring in six insulin-dependent diabetic patients shows that the biologic action of NPH human insulin (recombinant DNA) and pork insulin is similar. Nevertheless, the activity of NPH human insulin seems faster and more pronounced since minimal glycemia is lower and more rapidly reached after human insulin. The speed of glycemic increase is slightly lower and the decrease is faster with NPH human insulin; thus the area under the NPH human insulin-induced glycemic curve is less wide, but differences are not significant. Our data favor a faster and more potent effect of NPH human insulin.

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).

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.
