1 Resistin production from adipose tissue is decreased in db/db obese mice, and is reversed by rosiglitazone. Rosiglitazone resistin Mus musculus
2 OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to (1) investigate the expression profiles of resistin in db/db mice and its dynamic association with metabolic parameters; and (2) evaluate the effects of Rosiglitazone on production of resistin. Rosiglitazone resistin Mus musculus
3 Notably, treatment with rosiglitazone increased the serum resistin levels by 66.4%(P<0.05)in db/db mice. Rosiglitazone resistin Mus musculus
4 In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, Rosiglitazone (10 uM) markedly enhanced the secretion of resistin by 120% (P<0.01) and its gene expression by 78.1% (P<0.05). Rosiglitazone resistin Mus musculus
5 CONCLUSION: Both resistin gene expression and its secretion from the epididymal adipose tissue were decreased in db/db obese mice, while the insulin-sensitizing drug rosiglitazone increased resistin production. Rosiglitazone resistin Mus musculus
