C-peptide tests can also be used to identify other conditions that impact hormone production, such as Addison’s disease or Cushing’s syndrome. In every form of diabetes, ...

Although ‘lean type 2 diabetes’ is not uncommon, clinicians must first exclude other causes including autoimmune, monogenic, ...

Cardiologist Dr Alok Chopra emphasises the importance of testing insulin levels as normal blood sugar can hide insulin resistance and not tell the whole story.

C-Peptide: A 31–amino acid peptide cleaved from proinsulin, co-secreted with insulin, and implicated in cellular signalling pathways that modulate inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.

The mean peak C-peptide level at 52 weeks and percentage of participants with a C-peptide level of 0.2 pmol/mL or greater were similar between the two groups.

Evidence of gradual increases in serum concentration of C-peptide as pregnancy progresses in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus provides novel insight into mechanisms of β-cell failure and ...

C-peptide used to be considered a byproduct of insulin production but now scientists know that it acts as a hormone in its own right. The researchers measured how readily zinc, copper and chromium ...

Measuring extremely low levels of C-peptide in patients with type 1 diabetes may help predict future complications and HbA1c control, according to a presenter at the 50th European Association for ...

C-peptide concentration may be a more stable measure of insulin production than circulating insulin levels and may have actions distinct from that of insulin. 28 Whether collecting blood close to ...

An early exploratory study involving adolescents showed improved C-peptide secretion at 12 months after a period of intensive insulin treatment in the hospital for 2 weeks after diagnosis. 7 A ...

Both treatment groups saw declines in C-peptide levels by 12 months, and mean area under the curve (AUC) for plasma C-peptide levels at 12 months—the study’s primary end point—was not ...
