Is the expression of adiponectin receptor altered in mild and moderate/severe persistent allergic nasal mucosa?
These results indicate that AdipoR1 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of allergic nasal mucosa, suggesting a role for AdipoR1 in vascular dysfunction in mild and moderate/severe persistent allergic nasal mucosa.
We provide the first evidence that expression of the Wld(S) gene decreases beta cell destruction and preserves islet function in STZ-induced diabetes, thus revealing a novel protective strategy for diabetic models.
