Peptide ya C, cyangwa peptide ihuza, ni aside amine y'uruhererekane rugufi igira uruhare runini mu ikorwa rya insuline mu mubiri. Ni umusaruro ukomoka ku ikorwa rya insuline kandi irekurwa na pancreas ku rugero rungana na insuline. Gusobanukirwa C-peptide bishobora gutanga ubumenyi bw'ingirakamaro ku ndwara zitandukanye, cyane cyane diyabete.

Iyo pancreas ikora insuline, ibanza gukora molekile nini yitwa proinsuline. Hanyuma proinsuline igabanyukamo ibice bibiri: insuline na C-peptide. Nubwo insuline ifasha mu kugena urugero rw'isukari mu maraso binyuze mu gutuma isukari yinjira mu turemangingo, C-peptide nta ruhare rugaragara igira mu mikorere y'isukari. Ariko, ni ikimenyetso cy'ingenzi cyo gusuzuma imikorere ya pancreas.

Imwe mu mikoreshereze y'ingenzi mu gupima urugero rwa C-peptide ni mu gusuzuma no kuvura diyabete. Ku bantu barwaye diyabete yo mu bwoko bwa 1, ubudahangarwa bw'umubiri bwibasira kandi bukangiza uturemangingo twa beta dukora insuline mu ipansya, bigatuma urwego rwa insuline na C-peptide rugabanuka cyangwa rutagaragara. Mu buryo bunyuranye, abantu barwaye diyabete yo mu bwoko bwa 2 bakunze kugira urugero rwa C-peptide rusanzwe cyangwa ruri hejuru kuko imibiri yabo ikora insuline ariko ikaba idashobora kwihanganira ingaruka zayo.

Ibipimo bya C-peptide bishobora kandi gufasha gutandukanya diyabete yo mu bwoko bwa 1 n'iya 2, kuyobora ibyemezo byo kuvura, no kugenzura uburyo ubuvuzi bukora. Urugero, umurwayi urwaye diyabete yo mu bwoko bwa 1 ukorerwa ishinya ry’uturemangingo dushobora gukurikiranwa urugero rwa C-peptide kugira ngo harebwe ko uburyo bugezweho bwagenze neza.

Uretse diyabete, C-peptide yakorewe ubushakashatsi ku ngaruka zishobora kugira ku mubiri w’umuntu ku mubiri we. Hari ubushakashatsi bwerekana ko C-peptide ishobora kugira ingaruka ku bubyimba bushobora gufasha kugabanya ingorane ziterwa na diyabete, nko kwangirika kw’imitsi n’impyiko.

Mu gusoza, nubwo C-peptide ubwayo itagira ingaruka ku rugero rwa glucose mu maraso, ni ikimenyetso cy'agaciro mu gusobanukirwa no gucunga diyabete. Mu gupima urugero rwa C-peptide, abakora mu buvuzi bashobora gusobanukirwa imikorere ya pancreas, gutandukanya ubwoko bwa diyabete, no guhindura gahunda zo kuvura zijyanye n'ibyo umuntu akeneye.
