Objective(s): The mitogenic effect of the analogous insulin glargine is currently under debate since several clinical studies have raised the possibility that insulin glargine treatment has a carcinogenic potential in different tissues. This study aimed to evaluate the Igf-1r, Insr, and Igf-1 gene expression in colon and liver of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats in response to insulin glarg...

OBJECTIVE: Hyperglycemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients following coronary artery bypass grafting. Tight glycemic control in perioperative period can reduce these events. The goal of this study was to determine whether combination of continuous infusion and subcutaneous glargine as a basal insulin could improve glycemic control. MATERIAL AND METHODS:...

OBJECTIVE Insulin glargine (HOE 901, 21(A)-Gly-30(B)a-L-Arg-30(B)b-L-Arg human insulin) is a novel recombinant analog of human insulin with a shift in the isoelectric point producing a retarded absorption rate and an increased duration of action that closely mimics normal basal insulin secretion. It recently received approval from the Food and Drug Administration. The aim of this study was to e...

OBJECTIVE Insulin glargine (Lantus) is an extended-action insulin analog with greater stability and duration of action than regular human insulin. The long duration of action and decreased incidence of hypoglycemia provide potential advantages for its use in pregnancy. However, the placental pharmacokinetics of insulin glargine have not been studied. Therefore, the objective of this study was t...

Glargine insulin is a long-acting insulin analog that helps blood glucose maintenance in patients with diabetes. We constructed the pPT-GI vector to express prepeptide glargine insulin when transformed into Escherichia coli JM109. The transformed E. coli cells were cultured by fed-batch fermentation. The final dry cell mass was 18 g/l. The prepeptide glargine insulin was 38.52% of the total pro...

Rates of confirmed and severe, as well as nocturnal, hypoglycemia are generally lower with insulin glargine U-300 than insulin glargine U-100, thereby reducing an important concern of providers and patients regarding insulin therapy. Although a higher dose of insulin glargine U-300 than U-100 is required in most patients, the observed increase in body weight is small and less than with insulin ...

Insulin glargine is a once-daily, biosynthetic, human insulin analogue. Some trials show that in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, insulin glargine offers an advantage in blood glucose control compared with NPH insulin. There is some evidence of decreased nocturnal and symptomatic hypoglycemia in patients receiving insulin glargine compared with those receiving NPH insulin, but there are ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of adding nateglinide to therapy with insulin glargine in adults with Type 2 diabetes previously treated with insulin and with poor blood glucose control. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this 16-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, people with Type 2 diabetes [n = 55, HbA(1c) 8.2 +/- 1.0 (+/- sd)%, duration of diabetes 12.8 +/- 6.0 years, duration of ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of add-on insulin glargine versus rosiglitazone in insulin-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on dual oral therapy with sulfonylurea plus metformin. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this 24-week multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel trial, 217 patients (HbA(1c) [A1C] 7.5-11%, BMI >25 kg/m(2)) on > or =50% of maximal-...
