Blocking TLR4-NF-kappaB pathway protects mouse islets from the combinatorial impact of high fat and fetuin-A mediated dysfunction and restores ability for insulin secretion.
Lipid mediated pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction during Type 2 diabetes is known to be regulated by activation of TLR4 (Toll Like Receptor 4) and NF-kappaB (Nuclear factor kappa B). Recently we have reported that MIN6 cells (mouse insulinoma cells) secrete.....
