Effect of high glucose on inflammatory functions of RAW 264.7 murine macrophages in vitro
Abstract
In diabetes, macrophages infiltrate islets and have a pathogenic role on β-cells destruction through the sustained production of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β. Macrophages trigger an inflammatory response.
