Glucose-induced β cell production of IL-1β contributes to glucotoxicity in human pancreatic islets

TL;DR: In vitro exposure of islets from nondiabetic organ donors to high glucose levels resulted in increased production and release of IL-1beta, followed by NF-kappaB activation, Fas upregulation, DNA fragmentation, and impaired beta cell function, which implicate an inflammatory process in the pathogenesis of glucotoxicity in type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improvement in outcomes of clinical islet transplantation: 1999-2010.

TL;DR: The CITR shows improvement in primary efficacy and safety outcomes of islet transplantation in recipients who received transplants in 2007–2010 compared with those in 1999–2006, with fewer islet infusions and adverse events per recipient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monounsaturated Fatty Acids Prevent the Deleterious Effects of Palmitate and High Glucose on Human Pancreatic β-Cell Turnover and Function

TL;DR: In human islets, the saturated palmitic acid and elevated glucose concentration induce beta-cell apoptosis, decreasebeta-cell proliferation, and impair beta- cell function, which can be prevented by monounsaturated fatty acids.
