Peripheral Mononuclear Cell Resistin mRNA Expression Is Increased in Type 2 Diabetic Women

Resistin has been shown to cause insulin resistance and to impair glucose tolerance in rodents, but in humans its physiological role still remains elusive. The aim of this study was to examine whether resistin mRNA expression in human peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and its corresponding plasma...
