Human insulin, a protein that has the normal structure of insulin produced by the human pancreas, prepared by recombinant DNA techniques and by semisynthetic processes. Immunoreactive insulin (IRI), that portion of insulin in blood measured by immunochemical methods for the hormone; presumed to represent the free (unbound) and biologically active fraction of total blood insulin. Isophane insulin, a modified form of insulin composed of insulin, protamine, and zinc; an intermediately acting preparation used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Synonym: NPH insulin.

| insulin, protamine zinc | <chemical> A long-acting insulin with an approximate time of onset of 7 hours and duration of action 36 hours, consisting of bovine or pork insulin reacted with zinc chloride and protamine to form a protein complex from which insulin is slowly released. Pharmacological action: hypoglycaemic agents. Chemical name: Insulin protamine zinc (12 Dec 1998) |
| insulin zinc suspension | A sterile buffered suspension with zinc chloride, containing 40 or 80 units per ml; the solid phase of the suspension consists of a mixture of 7 parts of crystalline insulin and 3 parts of amorphous insulin. Synonym: lente insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
