Polysiphonia japonica Extract Attenuates Palmitate-Induced Toxicity and Enhances Insulin Secretion in Pancreatic Beta-Cells
Beta-cell loss is a major cause of the pathogenesis of diabetes. Elevated levels of free fatty acids may contribute to the loss of β-cells. Using a transgenic zebrafish, we screened ~50 seaweed crude extracts to identify materials that protect β-cells from free fatty acid damage. We found that an ex...
