Animal insulin is an injectable drug obtained from animal sources to help individuals with insulin-dependent diabetes in managing their blood sugar levels. It is structurally similar to human insulin, but there is a difference in the amino acid sequence. Animal insulin is derived from the pancreas of animals, usually pigs and cows, and was the primary insulin therapy option until the 1980s. After the insulin extraction from these animals, it is purified to lower the risk of an allergic reaction. Animal insulin is available as a prescribed drug. Animal insulin comes in various types, classified based on their speed of action in regulating blood glucose levels. These types include porcine insulin, derived from pigs, and bovine insulin, sourced from cows.
Bovine Insulin is a significant variant within the type of animal-derived insulins. Bovine Insulin, also known as beef insulin, is a two-chain polypeptide hormone produced in vivo in the pancreatic β cells. It regulates glucose uptake into muscle and fat cells by mobilization of the membrane glucose transporter Glut-4 to the cell surface. Bovine Insulin is often used as a growth supplement in culturing cells at concentrations ranging from 1 to 10 micrograms per milliliter of medium. The amino acid sequence of Insulin is exceptionally well preserved. Bovine Insulin differs from human Insulin in only three amino acid residues, similar enough to be clinically effective in humans. Bovine Insulin also influences other body functions, such as vascular compliance and cognition. Insulin enhances learning and memory once it enters the human brain and benefits verbal memory.
