Correlation of salivary visfatin levels in obese and NON-OBESE population with periodontal status
Background: Visfatin is an inflammatory adipokine that has been linked to obesity and plays a key function in immune response modulation. It's also been proposed that it's a pro-inflammatory marker for periodontitis.

ROLE OF VISFATIN IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF GESTATIONAL DIABETES MELLITUS
Background:The recently discovered adipocytokine visfatin has insulin-like properties. It lowers blood glucose and improves insulin sensitivity; however, clinical data on visfatin are limited.

Visfatin levels in patients with severe pneumonia [PDF]
As a cytokine highly expressed in internal organs, visfatin could be used as a biomarker of systemic inflammation response for chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, but few studies have reported the use of visfatin in severe pneumonia. The present study was undertaken to determine the plasma levels of visfatin in patients with severe pneumonia.A ...

Visfatin Induces Senescence of Human Dental Pulp Cells
Dental pulp plays an important role in the health of teeth. The aging of teeth is strongly related to the senescence of dental pulp cells. A novel adipokine, visfatin, is closely associated with cellular senescence.

ABSTRACT Memory T cells exhibit long‐term persistence, a defining feature that underpins durable clinical responses to adoptive immunotherapies. The mechanisms that integrate metabolic cues with transcriptional control of memory fate remain undetermined. Here, we identify HS1‐binding protein 3 (HS1BP3) is preferentially expressed in memory CD8+ T cells.

The relation of visfatin with nausea and vomiting in the pregnancy
The etiology of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) is unclear and appears multifactorial. It has been shown that the physiological changes associated with NVP include changes in the levels of adipocytokines. Therefore, we investigated the association of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy with visfatin, β-human chorionic gonadotropin (βHCG ...
