Why Use An Insulin ELISA Kit?

Insulin is peptide hormone made in the pancreas by cells.  It promotes the uptake of sugar in the blood into cells in which it's stored in the shape of fat and glycogen.  Insulin also inhibits the production of sugar from the liver. By controlling glucose levels, insulin functions as the fundamental regulator of carbohydrate and fat metabolism. 

The Human Insulin ELISA or Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay kit is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of individual Insulin and Proinsulin in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and pee. The insulin ELISA equipment is useful in obtaining the level of insulin in the given sample.

Knowing a patient's insulin level can help to differentiate which diabetes or form might be found in patients diagnosed with diabetic symptoms. Human Insulin ELISA Kit was used to ascertain individual insulin and pro-insulin concentration in serum and HAMECs (human adrenal microvascular endothelial cells) that were isolated from individual visceral fat of nondiabetic patients.

Insulin is responsible for two kinds of activities, excitatory and inhibitory. In its excitatory function, it increases the uptake of glucose and lipid synthesis. Insulin plays a very important role in regulation of blood sugar level within the standard selection.  Abnormal insulin secretion contributes to different ailments like diabetes, hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.

Type I diabetes is due to autoimmune destruction of β cells of pancreas, which contributes to depletion of insulin. Mutant INS-gene Induced Diabetes of Youth (MIDY) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease brought on by missense mutations, which result in aberrant proinsulin folding. Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is brought on by immunity to insulin-stimulated sugar uptake.
