NaB treatment also showed a trend ( p = 0.0788) to increase AKT phosphorylation in cytokines‐stressed mouse islets (Figure 7 ). 4 DISCUSSION NaB is a simple four‐carbon SCFA 40 that has been shown to have beneficial effects on pancreatic β‐cell function in mouse islets, INS‐1E cells, and human EndoC‐βH1 cells. 17 At present, the mechanisms underlying these effects have not been fully elucidated.
