Angiotensin II Induces Interleukin-1β–Mediated Islet Inflammation and β-Cell Dysfunction Independently of Vasoconstrictive Effects
Abstract
Pathological activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is associated with the metabolic syndrome, and the new onset of type 2 diabetes can be delayed by RAS inhibition. In animal models of type 2 diabetes, inhibition of the RAS improves insulin secretion. However, the direct effects of angiotensin II on islet function and underlying mechanisms independent of changes in blood pressure remain unclear. Here we show that exposure of human and...
