Does metal-activated C-peptide facilitate glucose clearance and the release of a nitric oxide stimulus via the GLUT1 transporter?
When complexed to Fe2+ or Cr3+, C-peptide has the ability to promote ATP release from erythrocytes. This release is due to an increase in glucose transport through GLUT1.
One in 5 patients with an ABCD(2) score<4 had high-risk disease requiring urgent treatment decision-making. When triaging on an ABCD(2) score, we recommend adding systematic carotid ultrasound (or a default angiographic CT scan) and electrocardiography within 24 hours before postponing complete transient ischemic attack evaluation.
