The Sequential Combination of a JNK Inhibitor and Simvastatin Protects Porcine Islets from Peritransplant Apoptosis and Inflammation

Intraductal administration of a c-Jun NH 2 -terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor enhances islet viability. However, its role in reducing the inflammatory response in islets is unknown. It is also unknown whether a JNK inhibitor could act in synergy with statins. We examined if the sequential combination...
