Abstract

It has been generally viewed that salicylates ameliorate type 2 diabetes through interfering with the NF-κB signaling. Earlier studies indicated that IKKβ was the key for the development of insulin resistance. However, it was unknown whether IKKβ itself, or its downstream target, NF-κB, plays major roles in insulin resistance. New data suggest that NF-κB and NF-κB-regulated cytokines are crucial for the diabetogenesis.
