Activation of GPR40 attenuates chronic inflammation induced impact on pancreatic β-cells health and function

BACKGROUND: Chronic inflammation-mediated β-cell apoptosis is known to decrease β-cell mass in diabetes leading to reduced insulin secretion. Exposure to pro-inflammatory cytokines can stimulate apoptosis in pancreatic β-cells. The G protein coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) is implicated for glucose indu...
