Why is pig insulin being used as a substitute of human insulin?

Pig insulin is used as a substitute for human insulin in some cases because it is similar in structure and function to human insulin, making it effective in managing diabetes. Additionally, using pig insulin can be more cost-effective and readily available for some patients compared to human insulin.


Why is human insulin preferable to animal insulin?

Human insulin is preferable to animal insulin because it is made through genetic engineering, ensuring higher purity and reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Additionally, human insulin closely mimics the natural insulin produced by the human body, which leads to more predictable and consistent results in managing diabetes. Lastly, human insulin is now more widely available and cost-effective compared to animal-derived insulin.


Insulin formed by the Golgi apparatus in insulin-producing cells leaves those cells by?

Insulin formed by the Golgi apparatus in insulin-producing cells leaves those cells by exocytosis. This process involves the insulin-containing vesicles fusing with the cell membrane and releasing insulin into the bloodstream.


Which gland secrets insulin?

The pancreas secretes insulin.


EColi makes insulin because?

E. coli can be genetically engineered to produce insulin through the introduction of the gene encoding insulin. This allows the bacteria to synthesize and secrete insulin protein, which can then be harvested and used for medical purposes, such as treating diabetes.
