The Metabolic Role of Retinol Binding Protein 4: An Update [PDF]

Hormone and Metabolic Research, 2011
Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP(4)) is regarded as a novel cardiometabolic risk factor, which is secreted mainly by the hepatocytes and also by the adipose tissue. RBP(4) has been shown to induce insulin resistance, and plasma RBP(4) values are increased in type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease.

Role of retinol-binding protein 4 in obese Asian Indians with metabolic syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2012
Retinol-binding protein 4 is an adipocytokine separately implicated in the development of obesity-related insulin resistance and proatherogenic lipid profile, however, its role in humans is unclear.

Retinol-binding protein 4 and insulin resistance in preeclampsia

Endocrine Journal, 2011
Preeclampsia is characterized by the onset of high blood pressure and proteinuria during pregnancy, which results in substantial maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Insulin resistance has been observed before the onset of preeclampsia, and is implicated in its pathophysiology. Recently, retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), which carries retinol

Potassium supplementation blunts the effects of high salt intake on serum retinol‐binding protein 4 levels in healthy individuals

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 2021
Aims/Introduction Excessive dietary salt or low potassium intakes are strongly correlated with insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In epidemiological and experimental studies, increased serum retinol‐binding protein 4 (RBP4) contributes
