Brief description Lipid loading of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas contributes to the onset of Type 2 diabetes, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. We have recently established that inhibiting the enzyme PKCe helps restore insulin secretion. By better defining the cellular role of PKCe we will clarify how insulin secretion is disrupted by fatty acids and cholesterol.
