F Sentinelli, S Romeo, M Arca, E Filippi, F … - Diabetes, 2002 - Am Diabetes Assoc The hormone resistin has been suggested to link obesity to type 2 diabetes by
modulating steps in the insulin-signaling pathway and inducing insulin
resistance. Thus, the resistin gene represents a potential candidate for ... Cited by 110 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 4 versions
H Osawa, H Onuma, A Murakami, M Ochi, T … - Diabetes, 2002 - Am Diabetes Assoc Resistin is a novel polypeptide specifically secreted from adipocytes, and its
serum levels are increased in obese diabetic mice. Resistin antagonizes insulin
and could account for insulin resistance. To determine whether there are ... Cited by 117 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 4 versions
- ►endojournals.org X Ma, JH Warram, V Trischitta, A Doria - Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2002 - Endocrine Soc Resistin is a newly identified hormone secreted by adipocytes that inhibits
insulin action on peripheral tissues. The aim of our study was to investigate
whether genetic variability at this locus is associated with the risk of ... Cited by 72 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 4 versions
- ►endojournals.org H Wang, WS Chu, C Hemphill, SC Elbein - Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2002 - Endocrine Soc Insulin resistance is strongly associated with obesity, but even among obese
subjects insulin sensitivity varies widely. Recently, a new adipocyte hormone,
resistin, was identified, shown to reduce insulin-mediated glucose uptake, ... Cited by 136 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 4 versions
JC Engert, MC Vohl, SM Williams, P Lepage, JC … - Diabetes, 2002 - Am Diabetes Assoc Diabetes and obesity have long been known to be related. The recently
characterized adipocyte hormone resistin (also called FIZZ3/ADSF) has been
implicated as a molecular link between impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and ... Cited by 146 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 4 versions
- ►endojournals.org A Pizzuti, A Argiolas, R Di Paola, R Baratta, A … - Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2002 - Endocrine Soc Resistin is overexpressed in human adipose tissue of obese individuals and is
likely to modulate insulin sensitivity. Resistin is, therefore, a candidate gene
for insulin resistance. We searched for polymorphisms in the resistin gene ... Cited by 63 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 4 versions

whether resistin gene polymorphism can be associated with type 2 diabetes. ... Cited by 56 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions
H Cao, RA Hegele - Journal of Human Genetics, 2001 - Springer Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a complex phenotype that is frequently
associated with central obesity and insulin resistance. Recently, a protein
