Angiotensin II induces cholesterol accumulation and impairs insulin secretion by regulating ABCA1 in beta cells
In pancreatic β cells, ABCA1, a 254 kDa membrane protein, affects cholesterol homeostasis and insulin secretion. Angiotensin II, as the main effector of the renin–angiotensin system, decreases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). We examined the effect of angiotensin II on ABCA1 expression i...
