Role of resistin in cardiac contractility and hypertrophy.

Abstract excerpt

Cardiovascular sequelae including diabetic cardiomyopathy constitute the major cause of death in diabetic patients. Although several factors may contribute to the development of this cardiomyopathy, the underlying molecular/cellular mechanisms leading to cardiac dysfunction are still partially understood. Recently, a novel paradigm for the role of the adipocytokine resistin in diabetes has emerged. Resistin has...
