The Relationship of Fetuin-A, Adiponectin, Retinol Binding Protein-4 (RBP-4) and High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) with Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) in Obese Non Diabetic Men

The Relationship of Fetuin-A, Adiponectin, Retinol Binding Protein-4 (RBP-4) and High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) with Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) in Obese Non Diabetic Men

BACKGROUND: Central obesity is the accumulation of visceral (intra-abdominal) fat and is strongly known to be associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Obesity can cause adipocyte hypertrophy that results in dysregulation of adipokine expression. The abnormal function o...
