Essential fatty acid deficiency in rats: effects on arachidonate metabolism, generation of cyclooxygenase products and functional responses in neutrophils.

abstract：:Interleukin-18 (IL-18) gene promoter polymorphism is known as a genetic risk factor for child type 1 diabetes mellitus development. To test the role of IL-18 gene polymorphism in predisposition to adult type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), we analysed SNPs at position -607 (C/A) and ...
