Resistin was originally suggested to be a potential mediator of obesity-related insulin resistance in rodents. However, in humans, the role of resistin in obesity and insulin resistance has not yet been demonstrated. The present study investigates whether there are differences in resistin levels between patients with morbid obesity and lean subjects, and analyzes changes in resistin levels after significant weight loss secondary to bariatric surgery.
