Abstract: Resistin, an important vasoactive substance, is a cysteine-rich secretory protein in plasma.Current research further demonstrates that this factor can directly ｏｒ indirectly damage the function of vascular endothelial cells and participate in the whole process of inflammation. The resistance is associated with multiple inflammatory markers, related to the lesion of atherosclerosis, and it suggests that the resistance may be of vital importance in atherosclerotic disease.
