Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma agonists, such as 15-deoxy-delta 12,14-prostaglandin J2 (PGJ2) and troglitazone, have been shown to elicit anti-inflammatory effects in pancreatic beta-cells that include inhibition of cytokine-stimulated inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression and production of nitric oxide. In addition, these ligands impair IL-1-induced NF-kappaB and MAPK as...
