METHOD OF DETECTING MILD IMPAIRED GLUCOSE TOLERANCE OR INSULIN HYPOSECRETION

摘要

Detecting mild impaired glucose tolerance by quantifying myoinositol in a sample to diagnose mild impaired glucose tolerance or insulin hyposecretion, is new. Independent claims are also included for: (1) elimination of glucose by reacting with 2 types of kinases simultaneously to remove glucose in the sample; (2) enzymatic method for quantifying myoinositol in a sample by using myoinositol dehydrogenase in the presence of thio-NAD and NADH, in combination with the 2 types of kinases; and (3) compositions for quantifying myoinositol comprising at least thio-NAD, NADH,myoinositol dehydrogenase and the 2 types of kinases. ACTIVITY : Antidiabetic; Antiarteriosclerotic; Hypotensive. MECHANISM OF ACTION : None given in source material.
