Homogeneous Insulin and C-Peptide Sensors for Rapid Assessment of Insulin and C-Peptide Secretion by the Islets
OBJECTIVE Glucose-stimulated islet insulin or C-peptide secretion experiments are a fundamental tool for studying and assessing islet function. The goal of this work was to develop Ab-based fluorescent homogenous sensors that would allow rapid, inexpensive, near-instantaneous determinations of insulin and C-peptide levels in biological samples. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Our approach was to ...
متن کاملstudy of comparative effects of harmine and ghrelin agonist on insulin and c-peptide secretion
Aim and Background: The ability to secrete insulin from the islets of Langerhans on the one hand and suppress the factors that increase serum glucose concentrations on the other; It is very important in patients with metabolic disorders such as diabetes. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of harmine with ghrelin agonist (as a suppressor of insulin secretion) on insulin secretion a...
متن کاملEffects of glucose, exogenous insulin, and carbachol on C-peptide and insulin secretion from isolated perifused rat islets.
Isolated perifused rat islets were stimulated with glucose, exogenous insulin, or carbachol. C-peptide and, where possible, insulin secretory rates were measured. Glucose (8-10 mm) induced dose-dependent and kinetically similar patterns of C-peptide and insulin secretion. The addition of 100 nm bovine insulin had no effect on C-peptide release in response to 8-10 mm glucose stimulation. The add...
متن کاملC-peptide and insulin secretion. Relationship between peripheral concentrations of C-peptide and insulin and their secretion rates in the dog.
Estimation of the insulin secretory rate from peripheral C-peptide concentrations depends upon the following characteristics of C-peptide kinetics: (a) equimolar secretion of insulin and C-peptide by pancreatic beta cells; (b) negligible hepatic extraction of C-peptide; (c) constant metabolic clearance rate (MCR) of C-peptide over a physiological and pathophysiological range of plasma levels; a...
متن کاملMONOPHASIC STATE OF INSULIN SECRETION IN ISOLATED RAT ISLETS OF LANGERHANS BY K+, Ca2+ AND GLUCOSE
Isolation of rat islets of Langerhans was carried out by using collagenase and the destruction of exocrine tissue was performed through the injection of Hanks' solution into the common bile duct. The identification of the islets was done by techniques including the use of a stereomicroscope against a black background. Vital staining was done by an injection of neutral red solution through t...
