Part Descriptions
LP14676-8 Insulin
A protein hormone secreted by beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, generally promoting the cellular utilization of glucose. It is also an important regulator of protein and lipid metabolism. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

LP14676-8 Insulin
Insulin is a hormone secreted by the islet cells of the pancreas when an increase in blood glucose is detected. Insulin attaches to the insulin receptors on the surface of most of the cells. When insulin binds its receptor, other receptors are activated so that glucose is taken up by the cells. Intracellular glucose is used as a source of energy.

- Change Reason
- The EIA method, which was always intended to cover more than just enzyme-linked immunoassay and whose display name for the long common name has always been Immunoassay, was renamed IA in order to eliminate ambiguity about whether the method has a broader meaning than just enzyme-linked immunoassay. Likewise, EIA.rapid was renamed IA.rapid. These changes were approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
