关于Resistin/RETN: Resistin is a cysteine-rich adipose-derived peptide hormone, which belongs to the resistin/FIZZ family.Resistin has been shown to cause high levels of bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL), increasing the risk of heart disease, resistin increases the production of LDL in human liver cells and also degrades LDL receptors in the liver. As a result, the liver is less able to clear bad cholesterol from the body. Resistin accelerates the accumulation of LDL in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, resistin adversely impacts the effects of statins, the main cholesterol-reducing drug used in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease.
