If the load is transmitted to the soil. through skin friction between the. surface of the pile and the soil, the. pile is called a friction pile. If the load is transmitted to the soil. through the lower tip, the pile is. called an end-bearing pile. CHAPTER 19.
Levemir (insulin detemir) is a man-made form of insulin, a hormone that is produced in the body. Insulin works by lowering levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Insulin detemir is a long-acting insulin that starts to work several hours after injection and keeps working evenly for 24 hours. Levemir is used to improve blood sugar control in adults and children with diabetes mellitus. Levemir is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults.
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).
