Resistin

07/2008	Serum resistin is positively correlated with the accumulation of metabolic syndrome factors in type 2 diabetes.
06/2007	Plasma resistin, associated with single nucleotide polymorphism -420, is correlated with insulin resistance, lower HDL cholesterol, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in the Japanese general population.
10/2004	The G/G genotype of a resistin single-nucleotide polymorphism at -420 increases type 2 diabetes mellitus susceptibility by inducing promoter activity through specific binding of Sp1/3.
09/2003	The absence of evidence for major effects of the frequent SNP +299G>A in the resistin gene on susceptibility to insulin resistance syndrome associated with Japanese type 2 diabetes.
