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.

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.

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.

What is the difference between human and analog insulin?

Human Insulin, is a replica of the insulin found naturally in human beings. These are synthetically prepared. An insulin analogue however is an altered form of this human insulin, by addition,subsitution or substraction of one/or more amino acid chain/s. This is done to make insulin more safe and effective for human use.
