test strip method which needs only 5ul of fluid to analyze the lactate concentration. The test was carried out bedside and the result was available after 60 seconds. The studies were made as prospective observational studies in labour ward at Söder...
Molecular aspects of proinsulin C-peptide interactions
(2006-05-10)
Insulin biosynthesis in the beta-cells of the pancreas begins with the generation of preproinsulin, which is converted to proinsulin. Proinsulin is cleaved into equimolar amounts of insulin and connecting peptide (C-peptide), ...
