Abstract excerpt
Resistin is mainly expressed in human monocytes/macrophages and is associated with insulin resistance, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. Serum resistin is strongly correlated with the G-A haplotype defined by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) c.-420 C>G (SNP-420) (rs1862513) and c.-358 G>A (SNP-358) (rs3219175) in the promoter region of the human resistin gene (RETN). Smoking is also associated with insulin...
