Resistin

Resistin is a monocyte-secreted cytokine (RETN) that activates NF-κB → insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, and hepatic VLDL secretion; elevated in NASH, T2D, and rheumatoid arthritis; inhibits adiponectin signaling and promotes pro-inflammatory macrophage activation.

Also known as: resistin, RETN, ADSF, FIZZ3, resistin-like molecule, adipokine, adipocytokine, hyperresistinemia, CAP1
