Question

half life period of insulin in plasma is​

Answer 1

Answer:

An insulin molecule produced endogenously by the beta cells is estimated to be degraded within about one hour after its initial release into circulation (insulin half-life ~ 4–6 minutes)The plasma half-life of insulin is 3-5 min.

Plasma half-life (mean): 2 h

Plasma protein binding: <10%

Volume of distribution: 0.25 L/kg

Answer 2

Answer:

The plasma half-life of insulin is 3-5 min. The principal pathway for the lowering of plasma insulin levels is receptor-mediated endocytosis of the insulin-receptor complex; a major site of this activity is in the liver,with the kidney as the second most important site.
