Abstract excerpt
Resistin is an adipokine that induces insulin resistance in mice; serum concentrations are decreased by fasting and increased by feeding. Adiponectin, another adipokine, improves insulin sensitivity. The aims of this study were to determine the effects of glucose and meal loading on serum resistin and total and high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin in humans and to explore potential determinants of fasting...
