Pancreatic β‐cell death, regeneration and insulin secretion: Roles of poly (ADP‐ribose) polymerase and cyclic ADP‐ribose

S Takasawa, H Okamoto - Journal of Diabetes Research, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
In the early 1980s, we proposed a unifying model for β‐cell damage (The OKAMOTO
model), in which poly (ADP‐ribose) synthetase/polymerase (PARP) activation plays an …
