Research Abstract |
This study has shown that exendin-4 suppresses the onset of encephalomyocarditis virus(EMCV) induced diabetes, which is a model of fulminant type 1 diabetes. Exendin-4 markedly reducedβ cell destruction by inhibiting the infiltration of macrophages into the islets and the expression of EMCV infected macrophage derived chemical mediators, TNF-α, IL-1β and iNOS. Our study clarified that it could be an important strategy to suppress macrophage activation in the treatment of fulminant type1 diabetes.
