Best Answer

Insulin like many other peptide hormones is synthesized in the body as a pro-hormone that is then cleaved to become the more active hormone. Therefore the mature form could be said to the cleaved active horomone and not the 'juvenile' pro-hormone (actually used clinically as pro-insulin). However, in humans, the insulin of adults is the same as that of children.
