Background: Burn injury, it was hypothesized, may induce changes in resistin expression that contribute to postburn metabolic derangements. This study examined resistin gene expression, serum levels of resistin protein, and glucose levels in burned mice.
Methods: Ten male Balb-c mice were anesthetized and then given a 30% total burn surface area using heated probes. Burned and sham-burned mice were killed at 2, 4, 24, and 48 hours. The total ribonucleic acid from gonadal fat tissues was isolated for the measurement of resistin gene expression using real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Serum levels of resistin, insulin, and glucose were measured. Statistical analysis was performed by two-way analysis of variance using Bonferroni's test to find differences between groups. All p values less than 0.05 were considered significant.
Results: Increases in resistin gene expression and serum resistin levels were detected in the burned animals, and these correlated with relative insulin resistance.
Conclusion: The findings suggest a potential role for resistin in the pathophysiology of the metabolic response to injury.

Objectives: The study investigates the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in resistin gene (RETN) with resistin level, insulin resistance, and the risk of type 2 diabetes in an early diagnosed type 2 diabetic population of Iran.
Methods: The total of 80 healthy subjects and 80 individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. To ascertain the genotypes of rs1862513 and rs3745367, we performed the polymerase chain reaction with restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique.

Context The adipose tissue produces adipokines - hormones essential to many biological functions, including reproduction. Aims We hypothesised that resistin, one of the adipokines, is present in the blood plasma, uterine luminal flushings (ULF) and uterus of pigs during the oestrous cycle and early pregnancy, and that resistin influences uterine steroidogenesis. Methods This study aimed to determine the expression of resistin in the porcine endometrium and myometrium during the cycle and pregnancy by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot (WB).

Sucralose, a commonly nonnutritive sweetener used in daily products of habitual diet, is related to impairing the gut microbiome by disrupting inflammatory response, promoting weight gain by increasing adipose tissue and promoting chronic inflammatory processes. Considering the impact of sucralose in the development of metabolic diseases, in this work, we focused on the impact of sucralose on the adipocyte differentiation process to determine if sucralose can promote adipogenesis and increase adipose tissue depots in PCS 210 010 human preadipocytes cell line. Sucralose at 25 (S25) and 100 ng/µL (S100) concentrations were tested against control with no edulcorant (NS) during the adipocyte differentiation process at 48 h and 96 h.

Human resistin is a proinflammatory cytokine involving the development and progression of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. However, prediction of long-term outcome using circulating resistin level and its genetic determinants in a population-based study remain to be explored. After genome-wide association study (GWAS), DNA methylation (DNAm) analysis and functional assays of a RETN rs370006313 variant, we tested whether resistin level and its genetic determinants can be used to determine the long-term outcomes of 5678 Taiwan Biobank (TWB) participants.

Aims: This study aimed to explore the correlation between radiomics features of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) and gene expression in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), with the goal of identifying novel imaging biomarkers for evaluating CAD.
Methods: Between November 2021 and May 2022, data were collected from 60 patients diagnosed with CAD who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Samples of PCAT, three additional adipose tissue types, and peripheral venous blood were analysed.
