1. Glucose, Palmitate and Apolipoprotein CIII-induced Effects on Insulin-Producing β-cells
Abstract : Background and aims: Type 2 diabetes mellitus results from complex interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental factors that together promote impairment of insulin-producing β-cells. Elevated levels of glucose, fatty acid palmitate and apolipoprotein CIII (apoCIII) are implicated in this process. READ MORE
