Urinary C-peptide (UCP) is a noninvasive measure of integrated insulin production, and the usefulness of 24-h collections has been previously reported. Only small numbers of subjects have been studied using shorter urine collections. To see how well 4-h urine collections for C-peptide (UCP) correlate with serum immunoreactive insulin (SI) and plasma C-peptide (PCP), we studied 41 healthy subjects (19 men, 22 women) using as a stimulus a 600-kcal mixed meal and the same mixed meal after oral prednisone. UCP values correlated best with the area under the curves for SI (r = 0.457, P less than 0.001) and PCP (r = 0.557, P less than 0.001). UCP was also significantly correlated with peak SI (r = 0.382, P less than 0.001), peak PCP (r = 0.496, P less than 0.001), fasting SI (r = 0.297, P = 0.007), and fasting PCP (r = 0.341, P = 0.007) values. Urinary C-peptide was significantly correlated with SI and PCP concentrations in a broad range of physiologic values for SI and PCP supporting the usefulness of UCP as a simple, noninvasive measure of beta-cell function. Four-hour collections for UCP may be useful in further studies of beta-cell function.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.

D002096 C-Peptide The middle segment of proinsulin that is between the N-terminal B-chain and the C-terminal A-chain. It is a pancreatic peptide of about 31 residues, depending on the species. Upon proteolytic cleavage of proinsulin, equimolar INSULIN and C-peptide are released. C-peptide immunoassay has been used to assess pancreatic beta cell function in diabetic patients with circulating insulin antibodies or exogenous insulin. Half-life of C-peptide is 30 min, almost 8 times that of insulin. Proinsulin C-Peptide,C-Peptide, Proinsulin,Connecting Peptide,C Peptide,C Peptide, Proinsulin,Proinsulin C Peptide
