Question

Humulin is the term used for
A. A new antibiotic
B. A sex hormone
C. Human Insulin
D. A vaccine

Answer 1

Humulin is also referred to as the new insulin. Recombinant DNAtechnology is used for manufacturing of this humulin. It involves insertion of instructions based on human genetics into bacteria that results in the production of a drug.

Complete answer:
-Humulin is a type of insulin only. They are similar to the human insulin which is developed through recombinant DNA techniques. Most of the preparations of insulin are based on beef or pork. But some individuals are allergic to this type of insulin preparations therefore humulin is used for the treatment of diabetes in such allergic individuals. Humulin is a type of insulin which is also known as recombinant human insulin.
-Insulin isophane combines with insulin regular in the ratio 70:30. The Insulin isophane and the insulin regular are made by men as a form of hormone insulin. These insulin's function via lowering the sugar levels present inside the blood of humans. Humulin is intermediate acting insulin glucose.
Cells of Escherichiacoli are employed for the production of human insulin at a commercial scale using the genetic engineering technique. Humulin is the human insulin produced commercially. Insertion of genes encoding the polypeptide insulin into the bacterial cells often results in the production of genetically engineered bacterial cells. These cells in turn produce recombinant insulin.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note: Humulin R the human insulin is produced inside the laboratories. They are used for the treatment of people having type2 diabetes. They are effective, safe and comparatively more expensive than the analogous drugs.
