2010 DEC 13 -- Data detailed in 'Insulin and its analogs: actions via insulin and IGF receptors' have been presented. According to a study from Italy, "Insulin analogs are artificially modified insulin molecules that allow better metabolic controls of diabetes through either more rapid or more prolonged activity. The interaction of insulin analogs with the insulin receptor isoforms (IR-A and IR-B) and with the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) is similar but not identical to that of insulin, and therefore, their biological effects do not always reproduce insulin actions in terms of quantity, quality and timing."
"Studies on in vitro models indicate that short-acting...
