Table 2 – List of fatty acid signaling drugs tested in diabetic models.
Contains a list of compounds targeting fatty acid signaling pathways discussed in the text, as a potential treatment for T1D. Columns (from left to right) indicate: 1) the compound name found in bibliography or common drug for the compound; 2) the abbreviated name of the specific target; 3) the mechanism of action reported for the specific target; 3) the diabetic experimental models where the compound has been tested in; 3) FDA approval information in humans to treat not-T1D pathologies (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/daf/index.cfm); 4) references for the mentioned diabetic experimental models.
