A-FABP-PTEN/AKT Regulates Insulin Resistance in Preadipocyte Cell 3T3-L1 Cells.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the regulation of A-FABP-PTEN/AKT on insulin resistance in preadipocyte 3T3-L1 cell.

Methods: siRNA interference method was used to knock-down the A-FABP expression in 3T3-L1 cells. The cell proliferation was detected by oil-O staining and MTT.

VEGF, apelin and HO-1 in diabetic patients with retinopathy: a correlation analysis.

Background: It's necessary to analyze the role of VEGF, apelin, and HO-1 in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and to evaluate its relevance to diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Methods: T2DM patients who were treated in our hospital from December 1, 2018 to November 30, 2019 were included. T2DM patients were divided into non-DR (NDR) group, non-proliferative DR (NPDR) group, and proliferative DR (PDR) group.
