QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS FOR DIABETIC CONDITION PREDICTOR

摘要

Quantitative Analysis For Diabetic Condition Predictor An enhanced quantitative assay for chiro-inositol concentration can be used to determine insulin-resistance, or a predisposition to the development of insulinresistance, in type I and type II diabetics. Spot urine or serum samples reflecting concentrations of chiroinositol below about 1.0 micrograms/ml in urine or 0.1 micrograms/ml in serum are indicative of a predisposition to the development of insulin-resistance, while concentrations below about 0.3 micrograms/ml or 0.03 micrograms/ml in serum are associated with actual insulinresistance symptoms. The assay can be employed for patient diagnosis, insulin therapy monitoring, and family screening.
