Cellular Production of n-3 PUFAs and Reduction of n-6–to–n-3 Ratios in the Pancreatic β-Cells and Islets Enhance Insulin Secretion and Confer Protection Against Cytokine-Induced Cell Death

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the direct impact of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) on the functions and viability of pancreatic β-cells. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We developed an mfat-1 transgenic mouse model in which endogenous production of n-3 PUFAs was achieved through overexpressing a C...
