What is IPT? Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) is an effective alternative cancer treatment. It uses a combination of two traditional drugs â insulin and a chemotherapy drug. Some decades ago it was discovered that cancer cells had highly active insulin receptors, making them âsugar hungryâ.
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).
