FIG. 1.
A simplified model of insulin kinetics/dynamics is shown. Insulin enters either directly into the circulation or is subcutaneously administered. It enters the circulation from where it exerts its action—represented by the effect compartment. A and B: Insulin concentrations (A) and action (B; glucose infusion rates during euglycemic glucose clamp). Subcutaneously administered insulin first enters this compartment from where it is absorbed into the circulation. C and D: Plasma insulin concentrations (C) and action (D) after subcutaneous lispro insulin injection. Schematics in A and B are from our unpublished data; C and D are abstracted from ref. .
