Protective Effect of Heme Oxygenase-1 on High Glucose-Induced Pancreatic β-Cell Injury
BackgroundGlucose toxicity that is caused by chronic exposure to a high glucose concentration leads to islet dysfunction and induces apoptosis in pancreatic β-cells. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been identified as an anti-apoptotic and cytoprotective gene. The purpose of this study is to investigate...
