Resistin in Rodents and Humans [PDF]
Obesity is characterized by excess accumulation of lipids in adipose tissue and other organs, and chronic inflammation associated with insulin resistance and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Resistin polymorphims, plasma resistin levels and obesity in Tunisian volunteers [PDF]
BackgroundAdipose tissue is an important endocrine organ that secretes a number of adipokines, like Resistin (RETN); it's an adipocytes‐secreted cytokine and has been proposed as a link between obesity and diabetes. Many resistin gene polymorphisms were described and their implication in obesity was controversial.

The Role of the Oral Microbiome in Circulating Metabolic Biomarkers and the Influence of Air Pollution. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aims The oral microbiome is at the frontline for environmental exposure and plays an important role in human metabolism. This study explores the relationship between PM2.5 exposure, the oral microbiome, and metabolic biomarkers including ghrelin, resistin, and insulin.

Periodontitis and metabolic diseases (diabetes and obesity): Tackling multimorbidity
Abstract Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are multifactorial, long‐term, chronic conditions that represent a burden to health‐care systems worldwide as they can only be controlled rather than cured; hence, they require long‐term care. With the exponential increase in NCDs, the occurrence of individuals presenting with more than one chronic disease is ...

Suggestive evidence of a multi-cytokine resistin pathway in humans and its role on cardiovascular events in high-risk individuals [PDF]
In cells and tissues resistin affects IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12 and TNF-α expression, thus suggesting the existence of a multi-cytokine "resistin pathway".

Resistin Impairs Insulin-Evoked Vasodilation [PDF]
OBJECTIVE—Since vascular dysfunction is a main trait of obese subjects, in the present study we evaluated the vascular impact of resistin, a recently discovered hormone markedly increased in obesity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We performed our analysis on aortic and mesenteric segments from young and old C57BL/6 mice and on cultured ...

Resistin in Urine and Breast Milk: Relation to Type of Feeding and Anthropometry at 1-Month
Breast milk contains adipokines such as resistin and leptin and is known for its protective effect against obesity and insulin resistance. This pilot study aims to evaluate the correlation between resistin levels, feeding types (breast milk and formula),

Resistin-binding peptide antagonizes role of resistin on white adipose tissue [PDF]
To investigate the direct effects of resistin and resistin-binding peptide (RBP) on lipid metabolism and endocrine function in adipose tissue.Rat white adipose tissue was cultured in vitro and incubated for 24 h with 30 ng/mL recombinant rat resistin protein (rResistin) or combined with RBP of varying concentrations(1x10(-12) mol/L, 1x10(-10) mol/L ...

Measurement of Plasma Resistin Concentrations in Horses with Metabolic and Inflammatory Disorders
Obesity and its associated complications, such as metabolic syndrome, are an increasing problem in both humans and horses in the developed world. The expression patterns of resistin differ considerably between species.
