Earlier, ‘insulin’ was being ‘collected from the pancreas’ of Pig.
Option: (a)
Explanation:
- Earlier insulin was made from pig known as pork insulin and cow known as the bovine insulin. These insulin were used earlier since the insulin in pigs and cows were similar to that produced from the pancreas of human.
- However these insulin produces allergic reaction in many people, hence it is not used now. But the insulin now used is produced by recombinant DNA technique by using E coli.
- Insulin is used to treat hyperglycemia. Animal insulin has lesser duration of action.
