Chronic Administration of Visfatin Ameliorated Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetic Mice
Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2016 Background/Aims: Visfatin is a known adipokine which may improve insulin resistance in obesity and have an anti-diabetic effect via the insulin receptor. We studied the effects of visfatin on diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic mice.

The Association of Acromegaly and Visfatin [PDF]
Endocrinology Research and Practice, 2018 Abstract Introduction: Acromegaly is a systemic disease that causes multiple metabolic disorders caused by an excess of growth hormone. The excess of growth hormone affects the secretion of adipokines in fat tissue, leading to metabolic disorders.

Circulating visfatin level and visfatin/insulin ratio in obese women with metabolic syndrome
Archives of Medical Science, 2012 Visfatin is an adipokine secreted by visceral adipose tissue with insulin-mimetic properties. Higher circulating visfatin levels were reported in type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to analyse circulating visfatin and insulin levels and the visfatin/insulin ratio in obese women with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS).The study involved 92 ...
