- W2284696510 abstract "Resistin was discovered in the year 2000. In the mouse, it was reported to be produced by adipocytes and to be linked with insulin resistance and obesity. Human resistin has been shown to be produced by leucocytes but the literature contains contradictory results on its association with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Aim of this study was to clarify the role of resistin in the human context especially in type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. The first study examined the possible association of human resistin gene variants with type 2 diabetes. The studied three variants were not associated with type 2 diabetes though they were demonstrated in the second study to be associated with the plasma resistin concentration. However, two gene variants were associated with the prevalence of cerebrovascular disease in subjects with type 2 diabetes. In the third work, the association of the plasma resistin level with the risk factors of atherosclerosis and early atherosclerosis measured with carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) were studied. Plasma resistin level was not associated with IMT independently from the known risk factors of atherosclerosis. However, resistin was associated with inflammatory markers highly sensitive CRP and the number of leucocytes whereas insulin resistance did not associate with resistin. In the fourth study, resistin expression in different leucocytes and its modulation, as well as the effect of resistin on monocyte adhesion to endothelium were evaluated. The novel discovery was that resistin is expressed in all the main leucocyte lineages, with monocytes and neutrophils exhibiting the highest relative mRNA and protein levels of resistin. Resistin expression was upregulated by pro-inflammatory factors in the cells of both innate and adaptive immunity. The present results demonstrating that resistin increases adhesion and expression of some adhesion molecules support the hypothesis that resistin may be involved in the development of atherosclerosis. The above results indicate that resistin is widely produced by leucocytes and therefore may participate in inflammatory processes. Since it may be considered as an inflammatory cytokine, resistin may also influence the development of atherosclerosis. In the future, resistin could possibly be used as a marker of inflammation." @default.
