RETN and cardiovascular disorder: Progression of the pathological changes in diameter and flow of circulatory passages ultimately lead to narrowing and occlusion of the arteries.5 Resistin is mainly expressed from inflammatory white blood cells and is thought to participate in the release of a wide array of cytokines revealing its possible involvement in inflammation.3 This inflammatory link was explored in this study by observing the serum levels of resistin, CRP and TLC in normal subjects and in patients with variable severity of cardiovascular disease.
