“…Recent studies have suggested that C-peptide could have a biological activity [17]. C-peptide is released from the beta cells into the circulation in equimolar amount with insulin and fulfils an important function in the assembly of the two-chain insulin structure.…”

“…Although the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy is not known, a lack of endogenous C peptide is a possible cause [1,2]. Our results suggest that C peptide is an activator of the parasympathetic nervous system.…”
“…Thus, in practice, C-peptide levels have been used as an indirect measurement of β-cell function [9][10][11]. In addition, C-peptide has been also reported as a bioactive molecule in several studies [12,13].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
