Abstract:
This article present a review on the physiological activity and possible mechanism of action of C-peptide and clinical significance of using this hormone in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The present results might suggest that, contrary to the prevailing view, C-peptide possesses biological activity and plays an important part in the attenuating or preventing from diabetic complications. It is important to realize that this discovery might someday revolutionize diabetes treatment, however further studies will be required to define and confirm the exact mechanism of C-peptide activity.
