Does insulin attenuate apoptosis induced by high glucose via the PI3-kinase/Akt pathway in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells?
The present data indicate that insulin attenuates high glucose-induced apoptosis via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway in peritoneal mesothelial cells. Therefore, the insulin signaling pathway may play a protective role in peritoneal function.
Resistive heating maintains core body temperature as well as forced air heating and both are better than circulating water. Resistive heating offers the advantage of adjustable heating pods.
