SPINA-GBeta is a calculated biomarker for pancreatic beta cell function.[1][lower-alpha 1] It represents the maximum amount of insulin that beta cells can produce per time-unit (e.g. in one second).

How to determine GBeta

The index is derived from a mathematical model of insulin-glucose homeostasis.[2] For diagnostic purposes, it is calculated from fasting insulin and glucose concentrations with:

.[1]

[I](∞): Fasting Insulin plasma concentration (μU/mL)
[G](∞): Fasting blood glucose concentration (mg/dL)
Dβ: EC50 for glucose at beta cells (7 mmol/L)
G3: Parameter for pharmacokinetics (58,8 s/L)

Validity

SPINA-GBeta significantly correlates with the M value in glucose clamp studies and (better than HOMA-Beta) with the two-hour value in oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT), glucose rise in OGTT, subscapular skinfold, truncal fat content and the HbA1c fraction.[1]

It has the additional advantage that it circumvents the HOMA-blind zone, which renders the calculation of HOMA-Beta impossible if the fasting glucose concentration is 3.5 mmol/L (63 mg/dL) or below.[3] Unlike HOMA-Beta, SPINA-Beta can be sensibly calculated in the whole range of measurements.[1]
