Atorvastatin but Not Pravastatin Impairs Mitochondrial Function in Human Pancreatic Islets and Rat β-Cells. Direct Effect of Oxidative Stress.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that atorvastatin but not pravastatin affected insulin release and mitochondrial metabolism due to the suppression of antioxidant defense system and induction of ROS production in pancreatic β-cell models, and mitochondrial oxidative stress is a key element in the pathogenesis of statin-related diabetes.

Journal ArticleDOI

Altered expression of miRNAs and methylation of their promoters are correlated in neuroblastoma.

TL;DR: It is proposed thatmiR-29a-3p, miR-34b-3P, mi-181c-5p and mi-517a- 3p are disallowed tumor suppressor genes in neuroblastoma and suggest them as new therapeutic targets in neuro Blastoma.
