Does [ Glitazones protect beta cell function from cytotoxic cytokines through PPAR gamma-dependent mechanisms ]?
Glitazones can protect beta cells from apoptosis and impairment of insulin secretion function resulting from the cytotoxic cytokines via a PPAR gamma-dependent mechanism.
These data suggest that the presence and intensity of de qi has no effect on the pain relief obtained for patients with OA. This result may have implications for both acupuncture treatment and for future trial methodology.
