Resistin is a member of a class of cysteine-rich proteins collectively termed resistin-like
molecules. Resistin has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity-mediated insulin …

The potent insulin-sensitizing effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)
agonists are well established. However, it is still a matter of intense debate as to which …

We examined the effects of activation of peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor (PPAR)
α, PPARγ, and both of them in combination in obese diabetic KKAy mice and investigated …

Objective: It was hypothesized that resistin links obesity with diabetes, but this has not been
studied in children and adolescents to date. Patients: We determined serum resistin levels of …

Adipose tissue has recently emerged as an active endocrine organ that secretes a variety of
metabolically important substances, collectively called adipocytokines or adipokines. In this …

A variety of adipocytokines and peptides secreted from adipocytes have been considered to
play a crucial role in obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Recently, visfatin, a …

Insulin resistance is frequently accompanied by obesity and both obesity and type 2
diabetes are associated with a mild chronic inflammation. Elevated levels of various …

The metabolic syndrome currently reaches epidemic proportions in the Western
industrialized world. Its hallmarks obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and atherosclerosis are …

Resistin is an adipocyte-secreted hormone proposed to link obesity with insulin resistance
and diabetes, but no previous study has performed a joint quantitative evaluation of white …

La adiponectina es una adipocitocina secretada por los adipocitos que regula el
metabolismo energético del organismo, ya que estimula la oxidación de ácidos grasos …
