INSULINA IMUNOREATIVA EM LÍQUIDOS BIOLÓGICOS
Author
Affilliation
Abstract in Portuguese
No presente trabalho, estudamos a insulina imunoreativa no sangue, urina e sêmen de 138 indivíduos. No sangue, verficamos a secração de insulina em indivíduos normais e com diferentes afecções endócrinas. Na urina, estudamos a clearance de insulina em normais, assim como a possibilidade da existência de correlação entre insulinúria e proteinúria. Finalmente, estabelecemos os valores de insulina no sêmen de amostras humanas normospérmicas e azoospérmicas.
Abstract
Insulin secretion coeffiecient is quite a valuable test for studying beta cell function. It was increased in obesity and acromegalics and diminished in maturity-onset diabetes and hyperlipoproteinemia type IV. We were unable in this work to establish any correlation between insulinemia and insulinuria. No relation was also observed between clearances of insulin and creatinine. Immunoreactive insulin is also present in human seminal fluid in a concentration of approximately 45,0 uU/ml.
