Plasma fibrinopeptide A (FPA) concentration, as a measure of thrombin activity, was determined during an insulin tolerance test in 17 non-obese diabetics. FPA was measured by a modification of the Nossel method. Administration of insulin significantly lowered plasma glucose, accompanied by a signifi...
