    Connecting peptide (C-peptide) measurement offers a valuable method for assessing pancreatic beta-cell secretory capacity, especially in diagnosing hypoglycemia. This review covers C-peptide

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Metabolic Research
    • Clinical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Pancreatic beta-cell function is crucial for glucose homeostasis.
    • Plasma insulin concentration is a traditional but sometimes limited marker.
    • Assessing beta-cell secretory capacity is vital in various clinical contexts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the metabolism and immunoassay methodology of C-peptide.
    • To outline the clinical applications of C-peptide measurement.
    • To highlight C-peptide as an alternative to insulin measurement for beta-cell assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on C-peptide metabolism.
    • Discussion of immunoassay techniques for C-peptide quantification.
    • Analysis of clinical case studies and research findings.

    Main Results:

    • C-peptide provides a reliable indicator of endogenous insulin production.
    • C-peptide assays are valuable in differentiating types of diabetes and investigating hypoglycemia.
    • Methodology for C-peptide measurement has been refined for clinical use.

    Conclusions:

    • C-peptide measurement is a significant advancement in assessing pancreatic beta-cell function.
    • It offers a practical and informative tool for clinical endocrinology.
    • Its application is particularly beneficial in the investigation of hypoglycemia.
