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.
What else can I help you with?
Which form of insulin is a clear solution?
Rapid-acting insulins such as insulin lispro, insulin aspart, and insulin glulisine are clear solutions. These insulins are designed to work quickly after injection, making them suitable for controlling blood sugar levels before or after meals.
Which insulins are in suspensions?
Insulins that come in suspension form include NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin and certain mixtures like 70/30, which contains 70% NPH and 30% regular insulin. These suspensions require gentle mixing before injection to ensure proper dosing, as the insulin particles can settle over time. Other insulin formulations, such as long-acting insulins like insulin glargine or insulin detemir, are typically not in suspension form.
Does insulin contain zinc?
Yes, insulin contains zinc. In its crystalline form, insulin is often complexed with zinc ions, which help stabilize its structure and influence its pharmacokinetics. This is particularly relevant for certain formulations of insulin used in diabetes management, as zinc can affect the rate of insulin release into the bloodstream.
Which organelles are responsible for the synthesis insulin?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum. The peptide bonds are actually formed by an structure called a ribosome. This is capable of making peptide bonds whether it is attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or free floating in the cytoplasm - but it isn't a organelle. However, the rough endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane-bound organelle which has a surface which is studded with ribosomes.
Can insulin or glucagon be given in pill form?
Cannot.Both are protein hormones.So they are digested by gastric juice.
Insulin shock is a form of what?
over treatment of insulin
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
What is the noun form of mature?
The abstract noun forms for the verb to mature is maturity and the gerund, maturing.The abstract noun form of the adjective mature is matureness.
What is Prefix or suffix of mature?
A prefix for "mature" could be "im" to form "immature," meaning not fully developed or mature. A suffix for "mature" could be "ity" to form "maturity," referring to the state of being fully developed or mature.
What will a mature ovary form?
It will form an Ovum.... or an egg....
What is smart insulin?
A self regulating form of insulin that, if it were to make it to market, could effectively "cure" type 1 diabetes.
What are the symptoms of mild insulin resistance?
In its mildest form, insulin resistance causes no symptoms, and is only recognizable on laboratory tests.

What is a slow acting form of insulin that is given subcutaneously?
A slow-acting form of insulin that is administered subcutaneously is known as long-acting insulin. Examples include insulin glargine (Lantus) and insulin detemir (Levemir), which provide a steady release of insulin over an extended period, typically 24 hours. These insulins help maintain baseline blood glucose levels and are often used in conjunction with rapid-acting insulins to manage diabetes effectively.
What is the pathway of the synthesis and secretion of insulin?
Insulin synthesis begins in the pancreas's beta cells, where preproinsulin is synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). It is then processed into proinsulin, which is transported to the Golgi apparatus, where it matures into insulin through the removal of the C-peptide. The mature insulin is stored in secretory granules until glucose levels rise, triggering exocytosis, which releases insulin into the bloodstream. This process helps regulate blood sugar levels effectively.
Differentiate between keratin and insulin?
There are similarities in Keratin and Insulin, they are used differently. Insulin and Keratin are both made inside the human body and they are also both made synthetically. Insulin stays in liquid form while Keratin is a hardened form which an be has hard as finger nails or as soft as hair. Insulin in made synthetically and used for medical purposes where Keratin is made synthetically and used for beauty purposes.
