Why the study?
Are circulating resistin concentrations independently associated with aortic pulse wave velocity in untreated individuals?
Are circulating resistin concentrations independently associated with aortic pulse wave velocity in untreated individuals?
Circulating resistin is independently associated with aortic stiffness, suggesting a role beyond blood pressure, insulin resistance, and general inflammation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Resistin may mark aortic stiffness beyond standard factors; hypothesis-generating for causal role in untreated hypertension.
Norman et al. (2015) studied this question.
