Rats were fasted for 12 h with constant access to drinking water. The basal glucose levels were determined in each rat first. Next, 0.5 IU/kg of fast-acting insulin (Sigma, USA) was injected intraperitoneally. Blood was taken by tail puncture at 30min, 60min, 90min, and 120min after insulin injection and was measured by test strips (Accu-Check Active, Roche Diagnostics).
Fast acting insulin
Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States
Fast-acting insulin is a laboratory product designed to rapidly lower blood glucose levels. It functions by facilitating the uptake of glucose by cells in the body, thereby reducing the overall concentration of glucose in the bloodstream.

Five weeks after STZ injection, all rats underwent plasma insulin tolerance test. The rats were fasted for 12 hours with constant access to drinking water. The basal glucose levels were determined in each rat first; next, 0.5 IU/kg of fast-acting insulin (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) was administered by intraperitoneal injection. Blood was taken by tail puncture at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after insulin injection and was measured using test strips (Accu-Check Active; Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA), with values being presented as a percentage of initial plasma glucose level.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
