Its efficacy is 8 9 10 assessed by glycemic monitoring but few data are available on insulin stability in this 11 12 situation. Among the various methods for quantifying insulin levels in human serum, the 13 14 immunoassay ones seemed potentially appropriate for a TPN admixture containing high lipid 15 16 concentrations. Ee sought to identify and validate which of two immunoassay methods was 17 18 19 the better to quantifyFor human insulin Peer and consequent Reviewly be adapted to studying its stability in a 20 21 TPN admixture. 22 23 M thods : Two immunoassay methods to quantify recombinant human insulin were assessed 24 25 in industrial TPN: an immunoradiometric assay (I3MAA and an 26 27 28 immunoelectrochemiluminometric assay (I.CMAA. Falidation trials for both methods were 29 30 based on the accuracy profile method. 31 32 R sults : Interference with immunometric assays due to the high lipidic content of TPN was 33 34 eliminated through an improved preparation protocol using a bovine serum albumin ((SAA 35 36 diluted in phosphate buffer saline (P(SA. The relative total error of I.CMA varied from 1.7 37 38 39 to .52G while it varied from ; 0.32 to 8.37G with I3MA. Only I.CMA provided an 40 41 accuracy profile with a 95G confidence interval of calculated1tolerance limits falling between 42 43 the chosen acceptance limits (i.e. total error H10GA. 44 45 Conclusions : I.CMA combined with a (SA dilution is a simple and semi1automatic method 46 47 48 that provides an accurate quantification of human insulin in a TPN admixture without any 49 50 interference from lipids. 51 52 53 54 K ywords: human insulin, parenteral nutrition solutions, immunoassay, validation, accuracy 55 56 57 profile 58 59 60 2 Page 7 of 28 Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry 1 2 3 4 5 INTRODUCTION 6 7 The aim of parenteral nutrition therapy is to supplement or cover nutritional requirements via 8 9 10 the intravenous route when both oral and enteral intaCes are insufficient or contraindicated. 11 12 Ternary parenteral nutrition (TPNA corresponds to an admixture providing macronutrients 13 14 (glucose, amino1acids, lipidsA and micronutrients (electrolytes, vitamins and trace elementsA. 15 16 Considering the amount of glucose infused, hyperglycemia is very common during TPN in 17 18 19 elderly and home parenteralFor nutritionPeer patients, Reviewand concerns most patients in intensive care 20 21 units I1,2J. Hyperglycemia in both non1critically and critically ill patients receiving TPN is 22 23 Cnown to be responsible for an increase in the risC of hospital mortality I3J. Such patients 24 25 may require exogenous insulin in their TPN, but in spite of the guidelines on safe practices for 26 27 28 parenteral nutrition provided by the American Society of Parenteral and .nteral Nutrition I J, 29 30 few data concerning the stability of insulin in TPN are available I5,0J. 31 32 Insulin concentration is currently measured by separative methods, such as high performance 33 34 liquid chromatography coupled with -F detection I7;9J or si%e exclusion chromatography 35 36 I10J, which are not adapted to the complex TPN medium. Mass spectrometry1based methods, 37 38 39 more sensitive but more expensive, require a complicated sample preparation (i.e. 40 125 41 immunoextractionA and dedicated equipment I11J. 3adiolabeled insulin ( I1insulinA I12J is 42 43 useful for studying adsorption on containers, but cannot indicate any modification in 44 45 biological activity, or offer any assessment of either structural or conformational changes in 46 47 48 insulin (from primary to quaternary structureA. The presence of lipids hinders the accurate 49 50 measurement of insulin concentration in all1in1one TPN admixtures regardless of the 51 52 quantification method I13J. This means that other assays, capable of measuring the amount of 53 54 insulin in TPN admixtures precisely, have to be carried out. Immunometric assays are 55 56 routinely used today to quantify human insulin and its analogues in serum I1 ;10J. The 57 58 59 60 3 Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry Page 8 of 28 1 2 3 Immuno3adioMetric Assay (I3MAA I17J and Immuno.lectroChemiluminoMetric Assay 4 5 (I.CMAA I18J have shown a high level of specificity for human insulin because of their 6 7 mechanism involving anti1insulin antibodies as well as their high sensitivity. 8 9 10 The aim of our study was to determine the ability of such techniques to quantify insulin at low 11 12 concentrations in a TPN admixture, to validate them and maCe use of one in a stability study 13 14 of insulin in a TPN admixture. 15 16 17 18 19 MATERIALS ANDFor METHODS Peer Review 20 21 Drugs, chemicals and reagents 22 23 Olimel TM N7.
