Quantification of Proinsulin in Human Plasma by Proteolysis-Aided Peptide Immunoaffinity-Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Clin Chem. 2026 Aug 21:hvag105. doi: 10.1093/clinchem/hvag105. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Plasma proinsulin concentrations are used to investigate hypoglycemia. They have also been proposed as a marker of β-cell function, particularly as a ratio with C-peptide. Immunoassays remain the primary method for measuring proinsulin despite potential limitations. Mass spectrometry-based assays have been described, … Read more
