Resistin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, was found to be linked to metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance over the past decade. There is growing evidence that resistin plays a potential role in endothelial dysfunction. To the best of our knowledge, few studies have been concerned with the effect of resistin on endothelial function in a Tibetan population.
