Comparative study of NPH human insulin (recombinant DNA) and NPH bovine insulin in diabetic subjects. 1982

M Marre, and A Tabbi-Anneni, and H Tabbi-Anneni, and R Assan

The hypoglycemic potencies of human insulin (recombinant DNA) and bovine NPH insulin were compared in insulin-dependent diabetic subjects. The same dosages of the two preparations were alternately injected, for two successive 5-day periods, on a twice-a-day schedule. Blood glucose profiles were monitored by finger pricking 6 times/day. Slight but significant differences in glucose time appeared, suggesting that human NPH insulin acts faster than bovine NPH, and for a shorter time.

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.
