Comparative Glucose Clamp Study of Wockhardt's Insulin Human Regular for Injection and Actrapid, in Healthy Subjects.

Randomized,Single Center,Double Blind,Two-period,Crossover Glucose Clamp Trial to Test Bioequivalence Between Two Recombinant Human Soluble Insulins - Wockhardt's Insulin Human Regular for Injection and Actrapid, in Healthy Subjects

The aim of this trial is to demonstrate bioequivalence of Wosulin R to Actrapid with regard to its total and to its maximum serum insulin concentrations.

The purpose of this study is the comparative evaluation of the Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics of two recombinant regular human insulin injections administered intravenously in healthy volunteers under the conditions of euglycemic clamp.
