Abstract
Both common forms of diabetes have an inflammatory pathogenesis in which immune and metabolic factors converge on IL-1β as a key mediator of insulin resistance and beta-cell failure. In addition to improving insulin resistance and preventing β-cell inflammatory damage there is evidence of genetic association between diabetes and histone deacetylases (HDACs), and HDAC inhibitors promote b-cell development, proliferation, differentiation and function and positively impact on late diabetic microvascular complications. Here we review this evidence and propose that there is a strong rationale for preclinical studies and clinical trials with the aim of testing the utility of HDACi as a novel therapy for diabetes.

  1. After having a persistent cough for over a year, I was diagnosed with COPD
    in March 2015. In 2016 my COPD got worse to the point where not only do I
    have trouble sleeping at night, I also struggle to get air into my lungs. I
    read in a health forum of a herbal centre (native health clinic) who have successful treatment to COPD/Emphysema, i immediately
    contacted the herbal centre via their website and purchased the COPD herbal
    remedy, I used the remedy for 2 weeks, all my symptoms were reversed, i did
    another test for confirmation, i was declared COPD free. email (
    nativehealthclinic@gmail.com) or WhatsApp/Call him on +2348140073965
