  • Absence of evidence for an association between resistin gene variants and insulin resistance in an Asian population with low and high blood pressure.

    Kimbell JL, Koropatnick TA, Grove JS, Huang YH, Chiang FT, Quertermous T, Chen R, Donlon TA, Rodriguez BL, Curb JD. Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2008; 81 (2): 231-7

    Although the function of resistin in human biology is unclear, some evidence suggests resistin gene variants influence insulin resistance, and insulin resistance-related hypertension. We searched for associations between common resistin gene variants and factors related to insulin resistance in Asian individuals with high or low blood pressure (BP).
