insulin human
1. [USP] a protein corresponding to insulin elaborated in the human pancreas, derived from pork insulin by enzymatic action that changes its amino acid sequence or produced synthetically by recombinant DNA techniques. The term may be used specifically to denote a preparation of regular insulin having the sequence of that in humans, or may be used generally to denote any insulin preparation with this sequence, including slow, intermediate, and fast-acting preparations. 2. [USP] a preparation of regular insulin in which the insulin has the same sequence as that occurring in humans. Administered subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intravenously, or by continuous infusion pump. 3. any insulin preparation with this sequence, including slow, intermediate, and fast-acting preparations.
