Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO), synthesized by the inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), has been proposed as a mediator of immune-induced beta-cell destruction in type 1 diabetes. To evaluate the role of iNOS for beta-cell dysfunction and death, we investigated the sensitivity of beta-cells from mice genetically deficient in this enzyme (iNOS-/-, background C57BL/6x129SvEv, H-2b) both to interleukin...
