Abstract excerpt
Both pancreatic beta cells (insulin-secreting cells) and neuronal cells express functional receptors for nerve growth factor. However, while the effect of nerve growth factor on neuronal differentiation is well known, its role on pancreatic beta cells is not established. It has been demonstrated that in PC12 cells, a well characterized NGF-responsive cell line, NGF increases the production of nitric oxide by...
