Resistin Gene Expression in Human Adipocytes Is Not Related to Insulin Resistance
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Obesity is an important risk factor for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Recently, a newly described circulating hormone resistin, which is expressed primarily in adipocytes, has been shown to antagonize insulin action in mice.
