So wo nipadua no yɛ insulin? Momma yɛmfa C-peptide sɔhwɛ no nhu!

So wunim sɛ sɔhwɛ bi wɔ hɔ a ebetumi ama yɛanya nsɛm a ɛho hia pii afa sɛnea yɛn nipadua tumi yɛ hormone bi a wɔfrɛ no insulin ho? Wɔfrɛ no C-peptide sɔhwɛ. Ebia wontee sɔhwɛ yi ho asɛm da.

Dɛn ne C-peptide? Dɛn nti na ɛho hia yɛn?

Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, C-peptide yɛ ade ketewaa bi a yɛn dwensɔtwaa, akwaa a yɛfrɛ no ``Pancreas'' wɔ Borɔfo kasa mu, na ɛyɛ bere a ɛyɛ hormone insulin no. Ɛte sɛ ade ketewaa bi a efi adwumayɛbea bi mu ba bere a wɔayɛ ade titiriw bi no. Enti, yɛn dwensɔtwaa no na ɛyɛ C-peptide ne insulin nyinaa dodow koro.

Afei ebia worebisa sɛ, "Enti dɛn ne insulin?" Insulin yɛ hormone a ɛho hia paa a ɛhwɛ asikre anaa glucose dodow a ɛwɔ yɛn mogya mu no so. Insulin ne nea ɛboa yɛn nipadua mu nkwammoaa ma wɔde glucose a yenya bere a yedidi no di dwuma sɛ ahoɔden.

Afei hwɛ, nnipa a wɔwɔ asikreyare a ɛto so 1 no ntumi nyɛ insulin koraa. Enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde insulin gu akyi. Nanso nnipa a wɔwɔ asikreyare a ɛto so abien no yɛ insulin ampa, nanso dodow no nnɔɔso, anaasɛ nipadua no nkwammoaa nyɛ saa insulin no ho biribi yiye (yɛfrɛ eyi nso ``Insulin resistance''). Ɛtɔ mmere bi a, nnipa a wɔwɔ asikreyare a ɛto so abien no nso insulin a wɔyɛ no so tew bere kɔ so na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa insulin fi akyi.

Eyi ne bere a C-peptide sɔhwɛ no bɛyɛ nea ɛho hia. Efisɛ, sɛ obi fa insulin fi abɔnten mpo a, C-peptide ne saa insulin no mma. Sɛ wɔyɛ insulin wɔ nipadua no mu nkutoo a, wɔyɛ C-peptide. Enti, ɛdenam sɔhwɛ yi so no, yɛn nnuruyɛfo betumi ahu insulin dodow pɔtee a wɔyɛ wɔ w’ankasa wo nipadua mu, w’ankasa wo dwensɔtwaa mu. Ɛne sɛ, ebetumi akyerɛ nsonsonoe a ɛda insulin a nipadua no yɛ (Endogenous insulin) ne insulin a wɔnom sɛ aduru (Exogenous insulin) ntam.

Wɔsan frɛ sɔhwɛ yi sɛ:
