Why the study?
Resistin causes insulin resistance and vascular endothelial dysfunction, but its function and relationship with endothelin-1 leading to endothelial dysfunction in humans remain enigmatic.
Plasma ET-1 and resistin are correlated and may serve as markers for the development of endothelial dysfunction in metabolic syndrome.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Resistin and ET-1 levels were associated with endothelial dysfunction in metabolic syndrome; leaves open causal role and clinical utility.
Background:Resistin is peptides that signal the functional status of adipose tissue to the brain and other target organs. It causes insulin...
