INS and diabetes mellitus: AgNPs produced by biological means improve the survival of pancreatic β-cells and increase insulin production in zebrafish with diabetes caused by glucose AgNPs have the potential to initiate the synthesis of insulin in INS-1 cells that have been stimulated by hydrogen peroxide this effect may be attributed to the ability of AgNPs to safeguard the cells from oxidative harm and potential to function as therapeutic nanoparticles for the prevention of diabetes.185
