Albiglutide and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (Harmony Outcomes): a double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial

Adrian F. Hernandez, +798 more
- 27 Oct 2018 - 
TL;DR: In patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, albiglutide was superior to placebo with respect to major adverse cardiovascular events, and evidence-based glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists should be considered as part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

Prolonged Exposure to Free Fatty Acids Has Cytostatic and Pro-Apoptotic Effects on Human Pancreatic Islets: Evidence that β-Cell Death Is Caspase Mediated, Partially Dependent on Ceramide Pathway, and Bcl-2 Regulated

TL;DR: Extended exposure to FFAs has cytostatic and pro-apoptotic effects on human pancreatic beta-cells, likely to be due to the FFA-induced reduction of intraislet glucose metabolism, and the proapoptosis effects are mostly caspase mediated, partially dependent on ceramide pathway, and possibly Bcl-2 regulated.
