Cytokines in Male Fertility and Reproductive Pathologies: Immunoregulation and Beyond.

abstract：:Oxidative stress induced by free fatty acid overload in pancreatic β-cells is a potential contributory factor to dysfunction of insulin secretion and apoptotic cell death. Perilipin 5 (Plin5) has been reported to ameliorate oxidative stress-mediated damage in non-insulin-secreting tissues. We tested the hypothesis tha...
