From: Mathematical modeling and analysis of insulin clearance in vivo
Renal and hepatic insulin clearance. Insulin clearance is defined as the quotient of insulin degradation rate and insulin concentration. Total stationary insulin clearance (black) is a function of insulin concentration because hepatic insulin clearance (liver, red) depends on the insulin concentration, whereas renal insulin clearance (kidney, blue) is independent of insulin concentration. A body weight of m body = 200 g was used in the computations.
