Does chronic ingestion of Porphyromonas gingivalis induce systemic nitric oxide response in mice?
Repeated oral administration of P. gingivalis induced systemic NO and NOx production in mice, probably by activating iNOS as suggested by the response to 1400W.
The current study suggests a novel subpopulation of dormant low-oxygenated islets, which seems to constitute a functional reserve of endocrine cells. This study establishes a novel perspective on the use of the endocrine pancreas in glucose homeostasis.
