Uncoupling Protein-2 Modulation of Reactive Oxygen Species and Cell Viability in the Pancreatic Beta Cell

Uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) may be linked to the attenuation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but it is unclear whether this phenomenon pertains to the pancreatic beta cell. In this study, a UCP2-deficient mouse model was used to assess the importance of UCP2 to beta cell viability. We investigated...
