Informations sur le produit

• Nom: [Tyr0]-C-Peptide (Human)
• Marque: Biosynth
• Description: This product is a C-peptide derivative for use in radioimmunoassays. C-peptide is a peptide hormone that is cleaved from proinsulin in the pancreatic beta cells. During glycaemia C-peptide alongside insulin are released by the beta cells. Interestingly C-peptide is not immediately metabolised by the liver and it also has a relatively long half life compared to insulin. Therefore it can be a useful biomarker to monitor beta cell function. Increased levels of C-peptide occurring in patients with insulin resistant type 2 diabetes mellitus, have been associated with macrovascular complications and cardiovascular morbidity. Furthermore C-peptide has been found to prevent endothelial cell reactive oxygen species from being formed thus reducing oxidative stress. This also may lead to anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic responses.
