Circulating Prokineticin 2 Levels Are Increased in Children with Obesity and Correlated with Insulin Resistance
Objective. Prokineticin 2 (PK2) has been shown to regulate food intake, fat production, and the inflammation process, which play vital roles in the pathogenesis of obesity. The first aim of this study was to investigate serum PK2 levels in children with obesity and normal-weight children. The second...
