Article Abstract
Background: Resistin is a novel adipokine that is suggested to be involved in inflammatory conditions and atherosclerosis.
Aim: To investigate the prognostic importance of resistin in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.
Methods: Resistin levels were measured in a population of 132 patients with AMI, of whom 72 (54%) had a diagnosis of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and 60 (46%) had non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Thirty-three consecutive subjects who were referred to elective coronary angiography due to chest pain evaluation with normal coronary angiograms served as controls. All patients were followed-up for the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
Results: There was a significant increase in serum resistin levels in patients with AMI compared to controls (3.71 ± 4.20 vs. 2.00 ± 1.05, p = 0.001, respectively). However, serum resistin levels were similar in patients with STEMI and NSTEMI. (4.26 ± 5.11 vs. 3.06 ± 2.64, p = 0.49, respectively). The patients with MACE had significantly higher levels of serum resistin levels compared to either the AMI or the control group (6.35 ± 5.47, p = 0.005, respectively). Logistic regression analysis revealed that resistin, left ventricular ejection fraction, and coronary artery bypass graft were independent predictors of MACE in AMI patients (OR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.01-1.22, p = 0.03 and OR = 3.84, 95% CI 1.26-11.71, p = 0.018, respectively).
Conclusions: Serum resistin level was increased in patients with AMI and constituted a risk factor for MACE in this group.

Background And Aims: Resistin is inflammatory adipocytokine released from adipose and other tissue. It is thought that it is related to insulin resistance and pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study was aimed to determine the level of serum resistin in mothers with GDM and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) in all trimesters to see whether it differs among different trimesters as well as between GDM and NGT.

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.

Adipose tissue of obese people secretes a number of adipokines, including adiponectin and resistin, which have an antagonistic effect on the human metabolism, influencing the pathogenesis of many diseases based on low-grade inflammation. Body composition analysis using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was performed in 84 adults with obesity, i.e.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a growing global healthcare burden. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are more likely to acquire MetS than the general population. Recent research suggests that the interaction of adipose tissue products, such as adiponectin resistin and uric acid, is essential in MetS onset.

Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory adipokines and cytokines increase the risk of developing metabolic disorders and diseases. The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis of selected adipokines/cytokines in the blood serum of adults with obesity and normal body weight. The study also evaluated the correlation of these adipokines/cytokines with selected biochemical blood parameters.
