    Aberrant activation of liver X receptors impairs pancreatic beta cell function through upregulation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c in mouse islets and rodent cell lines

    Liver X receptors (LXR) are important transcriptional regulators of lipid and glucose metabolism. Our previous report demonstrated that LXR activation inhibited pancreatic beta cell proliferation through cell ...

    Prostaglandin E2 regulates Foxo activity via the Akt pathway: implications for pancreatic islet beta cell dysfunction

    Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a well-recognised inhibitor of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The aim of this study was to investigate the signalling pathway of PGE2 in beta cell function regulation in H...
