To examine differences among pregnant diabetic and nondiabetic subjects, serum glucose, and immunoreactivity of C-peptide, free and total insulin were measured at hourly intervals during a 24--h third trimester metabolic ward evaluation. Six normals, three mild, and four juvenile-onset type diabetics were studied. Diets were identical for all subjects. Mild diabetics differed from juvenile diabetics by having significant residual pancreatic B-cell function, as measured by C-peptide immunoreactivity. Short and intermediate acting insulins given once or twice daily to diabetics maintained serum glucose levels within the normal range throughout the 24 h. Despite wide variation in serum total insulin levels, peripheral free insulin concentrations in well-controlled diabetics fell within a relatively narrow range that was higher than in controls. Infants of the diabetic subjects were comparable to the offpsring of the control women.

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).

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

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.
