Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas and released into the blood; therefore insulin is found in the blood.
For diabetic people, insulin medication is administered by (and therefore found in) vials and administered with single-use syringes with needles, insulin pumps, or preloaded insulin pens, and inhalers. This type of insulin is derived from pigs and cattle, or yeast and are manufactured under sterile laboratory conditions.
What else can I help you with?
How can you get the molar mass of insulin knowing just the grams of insulin in a sample and the number of molecules that that sample contains?
To find the molar mass of insulin, you first need to calculate the number of moles of insulin in the sample using the Avogadro's number and the number of molecules. Then, divide the grams of insulin by the number of moles to find the molar mass. The molar mass is expressed in grams per mole.
Where in the human body would you find the glands that secrets insulin?
sugar/glucosePancreas is the structure in the human body that is the usual source of insulin
Is there any pork products is insulin?
Insulin can come from a number of sources. It is sometimes extracted from the pancreas of a pig, but it can also be made by genetically engineered bacteria. So for a particular batch of insulin, you would have to find out how it was made.
What is lantus insulin?
It is a long acting insulin.
Diabetes is a result of the insufficient production of what?
insulin in the pancreas
What is the chemical formula for insulin?
The chemical formula of insulin is C256H381N65O79S6
What specific hormone corrects a hyperglycemic state?
Insulin
Is the insulin made by E.coli better or worse than insulin made by human?
The insulin that we engineer bacteria to make (E.colidoes not naturally make insulin) is identical to human insulin.
Why use insulin pump?
An insulin pump can be used as an alternative to multiple daily injections of insulin by insulin syringe.This method is known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy.
Can NPH and Regular insulin be mixed?
yes...because regular insulin and Isophane Insulin(NPH) is a human-made form of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced naturally by pancreas
Is there pig pee in the insulin?
No . . . human insulin is made from pig insulin, quite often.
What is the only insulin that can be given intravenously?
