Insulin detemir. A: Amino acid structure of insulin detemir. B: Mechanism of protraction: di-hexamer formation in the SC space and binding to albumin. C and D: Pharmacokinetics and PD profiles of insulin glargine (n = 12, blue line) and insulin detemir (n = 12, red line) at steady state, from euglycemic clamp study following SC injection of 0.35 U/kg in patients with type 1 diabetes. Data from Porcellati F, Rossetti P, Busciantella NR, Marzotti S, Lucidi P, Luzio S, et al. Comparison of pharmacokinetics and dynamics of the long-acting insulin analogs glargine and detemir at steady state in type 1 diabetes: a double-blind, randomized, crossover study.
