Different counterregulatory responses to human insulin (recombinant DNA) and purified pork insulin. 1982

K J Schlüter, and K G Petersen, and J Sontheimer, and F Enzmann, and L Kerp

The biologic effect of human insulin (recombinant DNA) and purified pork insulin (PPI) was compared during insulin-induced hypoglycemia at two intravenous dosages 0.075 and 0.1 U/kg body wt in healthy volunteers. Serum insulin concentrations and plasma glucose curves were identical. PPI induced a significantly (P less than 0.05) higher output of epinephrine, growth hormone, and cortisol at both doses. Less inhibition (P less than 0.05) of endogenous insulin secretion was observed for human insulin at 0.1 kg body wt. An elevated incidence of sweating during hypoglycemia was related to epinephrine secretion. The results indicate that homologous insulin produces in vivo effects which are different from those produced by heterologous 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).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.
