Resistin, a new 12.5 kDa cysteine-rich protein, which is specifically secreted by adipocytes and describe as a potential link between obesity and insulin resistance. Recently, resistin and PPARs receptors was found in reproductive tissue such as ovary and it was found that resistin modulate ovarian follicle function. Additionally, thiazolidinediones, such as rosiglitazone, a synthetic agonist of PPAR-γ down-regulated resistin expression in rodents. The aim of the study wa...
