How does Vetsulin differ from human insulin products?
Vetsulin porcine insulin has the same amino acid sequence as natural canine insulin, whereas the commonly prescribed biosynthetic human insulin has a different amino acid sequence. Vetsulin’s similar structure may provide more effective regulation of blood glucose and decreases the risk of anti-insulin antibody development in dogs. While differences in amino acid sequencing can cause anti-insulin antibody formation in dogs and potentially lead to insulin resistance, anti-insulin antibodies are rare in cats.
