Assays of immunoreactive insulin and specific insulin in evaluating islet function and insulin sensitivity / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Comparison of assays of immunoreactive insulin (IRI) and specific insulin in evaluating islet β cell function and insulin sensitivity suggested that there were no significant differences in individuals with different glucose tolerance impairment by two assays. The evaluation of islet β cell function using IRI and insulin sensitivity is still valid in clinical practice.
