2021-12-02
Abstract excerpt
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a widely used chemical substance, causes an increased risk of human type 2 diabetes (T2D) through a currently unknown mechanism. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether PFOA regulates the functions of pancreatic β cells, which are specialized for biosynthesis and secretion of insulin, and to reveal the underlying mechanism.
