Pharmacology & Mechanism of Action
Insulin Aspart & Insulin Aspart Protamine is a human insulin analog suspension containing 30% Insulin Aspart & 70% Insulin Aspart Protamine used to lower blood glucose. Insulin Aspart is homologous with regular human insulin with the exception of a single substitution of the Amino Acid Proline by Aspartic Acid in position B28, and is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast). The primary activity of insulin, including Insulin Aspart is the regulation of glucose metabolism. Insulin, and its analogs lower blood glucose by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake, especially by skeletal muscle and fat, and by inhibiting hepatic glucose production. Insulin inhibits lipolysis and proteolysis, and enhances protein synthesis.
