Modulation of adenine nucleoside excretion and incorporation in adenosine deaminase deficient human lymphoma cells.

abstract：:Many infections are associated with diabetes, as the ability of the body to fight pathogens is impaired. Recently, low levels of defensins have been found in diabetic rodents. However, whether hyperglycemia and/or insulin deficiency/insensitivity is the reason for the reduced defensin levels is still unknown. To study...
