High glucose predisposes gene expression and ERK phosphorylation to apoptosis and impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion via the cytoskeleton.
Chronic high glucose (HG) inflicts glucotoxicity on vulnerable cell types such as pancreatic β cells and contributes to insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion in diabetic patients. To identify HG-induced cellular aberrations that are candidate mediators of glucotoxicity in pancreatic β ce...
