Abstract excerpt
Resistin is one of the most important adipocytokines in mammalian cells due to its involvement in insulin resistance, obesity, and autoimmune diseases. Resistin is encoded by RETN gene that is primarily expressed in adipose tissues. Mutations in this gene have been associated with several productive traits in animals. This study was conducted to assess the possible biomarker capacity of RETN by evaluating its...
