Adiponectin/resistin interplay in serum and in adipose tissue of obese and normal-weight individuals

摘要

BackgroundThe interplay between adiponectin and resistin, the two adipokines of opposite effects, may determine the metabolic profile of obese individuals and development of obesity-related complications. The current study was conducted to assess how adiponectin/resistin interplay in sera and adipose tissues may influence the metabolic profile of obese and normal-weight subjects.
