Serum trypsin-like immunoreactivity and pancreatic isoamylase were measured in 302 insulin-dependent diabetic patients (166 men) using radioimmunoassay for the former and a photocolorimetric method for the latter. There was a significant correlation between the two enzymes (r = 0.67, p less than 0.0001) with lower concentrations of both trypsin-like immunoreactivity (208.8 micrograms/L) and pancreatic isoamylase (67.5 U/L) in diabetic patients as compared to controls (p less than 0.0001). Using multiple regression analysis, a statistically significant association was only apparent between enzyme concentrations and age at onset of diabetes (r = 0.31, p less than 0.0001). The results suggest that impaired exocrine pancreatic function may occur in an appreciable proportion of diabetic patients and also that a primary insult to the exocrine pancreas occurring at the time of endocrine injury may be a contributory factor.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007517 Isoamylase An enzyme that hydrolyzes 1,6-alpha-glucosidic branch linkages in glycogen, amylopectin, and their beta-limit dextrins. It is distinguished from pullulanase (EC 3.2.1.41) by its inability to attack pullulan and by the feeble action of alpha-limit dextrins. It is distinguished from amylopectin 6-glucanohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.69) by its action on glycogen. With EC 3.2.1.69, it produces the activity called "debranching enzyme". EC 3.2.1.68.
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
