C-peptide: much more than a byproduct of insulin biosynthesis.
Pancreas. 2004; (3): 231-8
During the past decade, numerous studies in both humans and animals have demonstrated that C-peptide, although not influencing blood sugar control, might play a role in preventing and potentially reversing some of the chronic complications of type 1 diabetes. The aim of this paper is to present an up-to-date review of C-peptide, focusing on its role in insulin biosynthesis and in the classification of diabetes mellitus, as well as its potential clinical applications.
