Disorders associated with increased resistin condition A) Resistin is upregulated in various immunological disorders like sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis or cardiovascular diseases by regulating the inflammatory molecules B) Various hallmarks like proliferation, metastasis and angiogenesis are also regulated by elevated resistin level in the serum by modulation of molecules actively responsible for cancer C) Resistin plays a pivotal role in metabolic disorders like Type 2 diabetes, obesity and hypercholesterolemia by various pathways.
