Insulin ELISA Kit

Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas and plays a critical role in glucose homeostasis. As a biomarker, insulin is essential for evaluating pancreatic function, particularly in relation to carbohydrate metabolism and endocrine system health. In both research and clinical contexts, circulating insulin levels are commonly measured to assess insulin secretion and sensitivity, providing insights into metabolic states such as insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The use of insulin as a biomarker is particularly valuable in glucose tolerance tests and in the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes and other metabolic syndromes.

In clinical settings, insulin measurements aid in diagnosing insulinomas (insulin-secreting tumors), distinguishing between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and guiding treatment decisions for patients requiring exogenous insulin. In research, insulin is studied extensively in the context of obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and endocrinology. It is also used in pharmacodynamic studies of insulin analogs and antidiabetic drugs to evaluate efficacy and mechanism of action. Additionally, insulin levels are analyzed in conjunction with other biomarkers like C-peptide, glucose, and HbA1c to provide a comprehensive picture of metabolic health.
