Research progressin Clq/TNF-related Protein-3 and insulin resistance-related diseases / 中国糖尿病杂志

ABSTRACT

Clq/TNF-related Protein-3 (CTRP3) is one member of the Clq/TNF-related Protein family. It has been found that CTRP3 had anti-inflammatory effects, and could ameliorate is chemia injury. In addition, CTRP3 could also antagonize insulin resistance (IR)and increase insulin sensitivity (IS). This review focuses on the research progress in the association between CTRP3 and IR-related diseases.
