Background This study was designed to investigate the effect of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency on pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion using a palmitate-induced inflammation HepG2 in vitro model. significantly improved in G6PD-knockdown HepG2 cells. The up-regulation of IL-8 caused by G6PD deficiency in HepG2 cells was confirmed in additional G6PD-deficient cells by qRT-PCR. The partial reduction… Continue reading Background This study was designed to investigate the effect of glucose
