In Diabetes & C-Peptide: Scientific and Clinical Aspects, a
renowned group of leading researchers and physicians offers a
comprehensive overview of the role of C-Peptide in type 1 diabetes.
The book is organized in five sections. An Introductory section
provides the background and key features of C-peptide's
physiological function and how its deficiency contributes to
complications. The second section describes up-to-date information
on the biochemical and molecular actions of C-peptide, including
membrane binding, interactions with insulin as well as the
interaction between C-peptide and zinc and effects on microvascular
vasoreactivity. The third section summarizes in vivo animal studies
of the type 1 diabetic complications. The fourth section reviews
the clinical efforts of C-peptide on inflammation, cardiovascular
complication, neuropathy and nephropathy. Finally, in the
Conclusions section, a summary of the present state of C-peptide,
outstanding questions, and the likely direction of the field are
offered. Developed by the foremost investigators in the rapidly
moving field of C-peptide research, Diabetes & C-Peptide:
Scientific and Clinical Aspects is an important contribution to the
literature for all researchers and physicians concerned about type
1 diabetes.
