It works similarly to human insulin by enhancing glucose uptake in tissues and reducing glucose production by the liver. [37] It is a synthetic form of human insulin, with a single amino acid change, replacing proline with aspartic acid at the B28 position. [40] Insulin aspart was approved for medical use in the United States in 2000. [37]

Many gases have toxic properties, which are often assessed using the LC 50 (median lethal concentration) measure. In the United States, many of these gases have been assigned an NFPA 704 health rating of 4 (may be fatal) or 3 (may cause serious or permanent injury), and/or exposure limits (TLV, TWA/PEL, STEL, or REL) determined by the ACGIH professional association.
