Background
Resistin is a hormone secreted by adipose tissue. The length of the resistin pre-peptide in human is 108 aminoacids; the molecular weight is ~12.5 kDa. Resistin was originally found to be produced and released from adipose tissue to serve endocrine functions likely involved in insulin resistance. This idea primarily stems from studies demonstrating that serum resistin levels increase with obesity in several model systems. Since these observations, further research has linked resistin to other physiological systems such as inflammation and energy homeostasis. Current research is proposing to link resistin to inflammation and energy homeostasis, including its alleged role in insulin resistance in obese subjects.
