The term, meaning fear of reptiles, is an amalgam of Greek, not Latin. Herpeto = from herpeton, which means reptile, or more literally a creeping thing. In turn herpeton grew out of the verb herpein which meant to creep.
Basaglar is biologically similar to Sanofiâs basal insulin Lantus (insulin glargine), including the same protein sequence and a similar glucose-lowering effect. While the FDA does not call it a âbiosimilarâ drug for regulatory reasons, it can essentially be thought of as an alternative form of Lantus.
One rapid-acting insulin analog is insulin lispro, which is marketed by Eli Lilly and Company as Humalog and became commercially available in 1996. The structure of the insulin lispro molecule is identical to that of human insulin except that the amino acids at two positions on the B chain, B28 and B29, are reversed.nsulin is a hormone, or chemical messenger that is released into the bloodstream to be transported throughout the body. Most hormones, including insulin, are proteins, which means that they are made up of molecules called amino acids.
