| Popis | In diabetes, hyperamylinemia contributes to cardiac dysfunction. The interplay between hIAPP, blood glucose and other plasma components is, however, not understood. We show that glucose and LDL interact with hIAPP, resulting in -sheet rich oligomers with increased -cell toxicity and hemolytic activity, providing mechanistic insights for a direct link between diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. |
