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.
Insulin also promotes growth and is required for the actions of growth hormone (e.g. protein synthesis, cell division, DNA synthesis). Insulin detemir is a long-acting insulin analogue with a flat and predictable action profile. It is used to mimic the basal levels of insulin in diabetic individuals.The onset of action of insulin detemir is 1 to 2 hours and its duration of action is up to 24 hours.Interestingly, it has a lower affinity (30%) for the insulin receptor than human insulin.nsulin also promotes growth and is required for the actions of growth hormone (e.g. protein synthesis, cell division, DNA synthesis).
