Abstract excerpt
Aims: We explored whether and how perilipin 2 (Plin2) protected islets against lipotoxicity-induced islet dysfunction by regulating islet stellate cells (ISCs) activation. Methods: Six-week-old male rats were given a high-fat diet or a control diet for 28 weeks. Glucose metabolic phenotypes were assessed using glucose/insulin tolerance tests, masson, and immunohistochemical staining. ISCs activation levels were...
