Impact of human resistin on glucose uptake in adipocytes and its mechanism / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

The human resistin expression vector was constructed and transfected into cells to observe its effects on glucose uptake in adipocytes,cell proliferation and differentiation.The results suggested that human resistin impaired glucose uptake in adipoeytes via stimulating proliferation of preadipocytes and suppressing adipocyte differentiation.Metformin reversed the inhibition imposed by resistin on adipogenesis.
