Increased Serum Resistin Concentration in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis

Resistin is an adipokine, which displays proinflammatory properties. Thus, it is likely that resistin can influence the course of chronic pancreatitis, and/or that chronic pancreatitis may affect the serum resistin concentration.The aim of the present study was to determine the serum resistin concentration in patients with chronic pancreatitis and to analyze the relationship between serum resistin concentration and serum concentrations of leptin...
