Fig. 6From: The effect of cholesteryl ester transfer protein on pancreatic beta cell dysfunction in miceExpression of proliferation and differentiation related genes in isolated islets from aP2-CETPTg mice. Ki-67 mRNA level was significantly upregulated in islets from aP2-CETPTg mice. The mRNA expression of Pdx1 and BETA2 were decreased compared with WT mice. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 compared with control group. n = 5 per group. Pdx1 pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1Back to article page
