To gain direct access to the interstitial fluid (ISF), a new technique called open-flow microperfusion has been evaluated. This method is based on a double-lumen catheter with macroscopic (0.3–0.5 mm diameter) perforations that is inserted into the subcutaneous adipose tissue and constantly perfused. Thus partial equilibration between the ISF and the perfusion fluid occurs. The glucose concentration of the ISF was determined by established (zero flow rate, no net flux, and recirculation procedures) and new (ionic reference and suction technique) calibration methods by use of open-flow microperfusion. The data show that 1) the glucose concentration in the ISF is significantly lower than the corresponding arterialized venous plasma values during basal steady-state conditions (adipose tissue 3.2 ± 0.10 mM, plasma 5.27 ± 0.12 mM) as well as during hyperglycemic clamp experiments (adipose tissue 7.3 ± 0.13 mM, plasma 9.91 ± 0.16 mM), and 2) it is possible to determine the recovery continuously by using the ion concentration of the ISF as an internal standard (ionic reference).

For nonclinical safety-assessment of insulin analogues in vivo, mitogenic effects are compared to that of human insulin. Besides histopathologic evaluation, this usually includes assessment of cell proliferation (CP) in mammary glands. Insulin analogue X10 is recommended as positive control, due to its known carcinogenic effect in rat mammary glands. Here, we discuss the mitogenic effect of insulin in vivo and use of X10 as positive control. We present results from 4 nonclinical rat studies evaluating effects of repeated dosing with insulin detemir (≤26 weeks) or degludec (52 weeks) in mammary glands. Studies included human insulin-dosed groups as comparators, CP, and histopathologic evaluation. One study included an X10-dosed group (26 weeks), another ≤3 weeks of dosing with X10 or human insulin evaluating effects of these comparators. Neither human insulin, insulin detemir, degludec, nor X10 induced mammary tumors or increased CP in the studies. The CP marker proliferating cell nuclear antigen varied within/between studies and was not correlated with the remaining markers or CP fluctuations during estrous cycle, whereas the other CP markers, Ki-67 and 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU), correlated with estrous cycle changes and each other. In conclusion, we propose that the mitogenic effect of insulin in rat mammary glands is weak in vivo. Cell proliferation evaluation in nonclinical safety assessment studies is not predictive of the carcinogenic potential of insulin, thus, the value of including this end point is debatable. Moreover, X10 is not recommended as positive control, due to lack of proliferative effects. Typical CP markers vary greatly in quality, BrdU seemingly most reliable.
