C-peptide, inozivikanwawo sekubatanidza peptide, yakakosha amino acid mukugadzirwa kwe insulin. Inosunungurwa nepancreas pamwe chete ne insulini uye inoshanda sekiyi chiratidzo chekuongorora pancreatic basa. Nepo insulin ichigadzirisa mazinga eshuga, C-peptide inoita basa rakasiyana uye yakakosha mukunzwisisa hutano hwakasiyana, kunyanya chirwere cheshuga. Nekuyera mazinga eC-peptide, vatapi vehutano vanogona kusiyanisa pakati perudzi rwekutanga nerudzi rwechipiri chirwere cheshuga, kutungamira sarudzo dzekurapa, uye kutarisa kushanda kwekurapa.

Kuyera C-peptide mazinga kwakakosha pakuongorora nekugadzirisa chirwere cheshuga. Vanhu vane chirwere cheshuga cherudzi rwekutanga vanowanzova nemazinga akaderera kana asingaonekwe einsulin neC-peptide nekuda kwekurwisa kwemasoja emumuviri pamasero ebeta anogadzira insulin. Kune rumwe rutivi, vanhu vane chirwere cheshuga chechipiri vanogona kunge vane C-peptide yakakwana kana yakakwirira nokuti miviri yavo inogadzira insulini asi inopesana nemigumisiro yayo. Kuongorora C-peptide mazinga muvarwere, sevaya vari kuita islet cell transplants, inogona kupa ruzivo rwakakosha mukubudirira kwemaitiro ekurapa.

Zvidzidzo zvakaongororawo zvinogona kudzivirira mhedzisiro yeC-peptide pamatishu akasiyana. Imwe tsvagiridzo inoratidza kuti C-peptide inogona kunge iine anti-kuzvimba zvivakwa zvinogona kubatsira kuderedza matambudziko ane chekuita nechirwere cheshuga, senge kukuvara kwetsinga uye itsvo. Kunyange zvazvo C-peptide pachayo isingakanganisi zvakananga mazinga eglucose yeropa, inoshanda seyakakosha biomarker yekugadzirisa chirwere cheshuga uye kugadzirisa zvirongwa zvekurapa kune zvinodiwa nemunhu. Kana iwe uchida kunyura zvakadzama mukunzwisisa chirwere cheshuga, uchienderananhau dzebhizimisizvine chekuita nehutano uye kufambira mberi kwekurapa kunogona kupa ruzivo rwakakosha kune vese nyanzvi nevarwere.
