  • Title: Pancreatic B-cell peptides as parameters for diagnosis and localisation of hormone secreting tumours.
    Author: Gerbitz KD, Spelsberg F.
    Journal: J Clin Chem Clin Biochem; 1985 Jul; 23(7):377-80. PubMed ID: 2995537.
    Abstract:
    Insulin, C-peptide and proinsulin were measured in peripheral blood of 11 patients suffering from different types of hormone-producing pancreatic B-cell tumours. While proinsulin was elevated in 10/11 patients during prolonged fasting, C-peptide and insulin levels were found within the reference range in 5/11 and 3/5 cases respectively. A rapid insulin assay performed during surgery was helpful for localisation and identification of the respective tumours.
