Resistin was originally described as an adipocyte-secreted peptide that induced insulin
resistance in rodents. Increasing evidence indicates its important regulatory roles in various …

Several epidemiological studies have described childhood obesity as a risk factor for atopic
disease, particularly asthma. At the same time, this association seems to be more conflicting …

AIMS: Resistin promotes macrophage-foam cell formation, but the mechanisms are unclear.
In macrophages, lipid uptake is regulated by scavenger receptors (SR-A and CD36), while …

The family of resistin-like molecules (RELMs) consists of four members in rodents
(RELMα/FIZZ1/HIMF, RELMβ/FIZZ2, Resistin/FIZZ3, and RELMγ/FIZZ4) and two members in …

Background: Resistin is associated with local and systemic inflammatory conditions with a
direct correlation with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of this clinico‐biochemical …

Numerous regulatory peptides play a critical role in the pathogenesis of airway
inflammation, airflow obstruction and hyperresponsiveness, which are hallmarks of asthma …

Background Adipokines, such as resistin and adiponectin, modify inflammation and may
contribute to increased asthma risk and severity in obese people. Objective To examine …

Background Asthma and obesity are both complex conditions characterized by chronic
inflammation, and obesity-related severe asthma has been associated with differences in …

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lungs. Both the number of cases and
severity of asthma have been increasing without a clear explanation. Recent evidence …

The co-occurrence of asthma and obesity is becoming an increasingly common health
problem. It became clear that both diseases are closely related, since overweight/obesity are …
