title: [C-peptide assays of the urine and plasma at baseline and under stimulation with glucagon in healthy subjects and diabetics].
abstract: Urinary (CPU) and plasma C peptide values at baseline (CP0) and under stimulation with glucagon were determined in healthy subjects (n = 17) and in insulin-dependent (IDD, n = 45) and non insulin-dependent (NIDD, n = 32) diabetics. A significant difference in the parameters of insulin secretion (x? SD) was found on the one hand between the IDD group (CPU = 5.58 +/- 5.58 nmol/24 h; CP = 0.14 +/- 0.08 nmol/l; maximum C peptide value after stimulation (CPmax) = 0.33 +/- 0.31 nmol/l; C peptide delta (delta CP) = 0.14 +/- 0.14 nmol/l; area under the curve (A) = 5.00 +/- 4.84) and the NIDD group (CPU = 15.47 +/- 8.22 nmol/24 h; CP = 0.64 +/- 0.28 nmol/l; CPmax = 1.14 +/- 0.44 nmol/l; delta CP = 0.50 +/- 0.31 nmol/l; A = 17.5 +/- 5.86) and on the other hand between the IDD group and the control group (CPU = 18.20 +/- 8.40 nmol/24 h; CP = 0.41 +/- 0.11 nmol/l; CPmax = 1.00 +/- 0.31 nmol/l; delta CP = 0.69 +/- 0.20 nmol/l; A = 17.10 +/- 4.45). As regards the NIDD group, only the fasting C peptide and delta C peptide values were significantly different from those found in the control group. The significance of each parameter of insulin secretion was also studied. There was a correlation between the values of C peptidaemia before and after stimulation with glucagon. However, the correlation between plasma C peptide and urinary C peptide values was mediocre, probably because of the numerous variability factors which intervene in the urinary excretion of C peptide.
