Circulating Retinol-Binding Protein-4 Concentration Might Reflect Insulin Resistance–Associated Iron Overload
OBJECTIVES The mechanisms behind the association between retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) and insulin resistance are not well understood. An interaction between iron and vitamin A status, of which RBP4 is a surrogate, has long been recognized. We hypothesized that iron-associated insulin resistance could be behind the impaired insulin action caused by RBP4. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Serum f...
متن کاملInsulin resistance in liver cirrhosis is not associated with circulating retinol-binding protein 4.
OBJECTIVE Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) has been identified as a novel adipokine mediating systemic insulin resistance, and elevated serum RBP4 indicates overt or impending insulin resistance in lean, obese, and type 2 diabetic subjects. As insulin resistance is present in nearly all patients with liver cirrhosis, we evaluated RBP4 in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). RESEARCH DES...
متن کاملRetinol-binding protein 4 and insulin resistance in preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia is characterized by the onset of high blood pressure and proteinuria during pregnancy, which results in substantial maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Insulin resistance has been observed before the onset of preeclampsia, and is implicated in its pathophysiology. Recently, retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), which carries retinol in circulation, has been shown to be a pot...
متن کاملInsulin resistance is unrelated to circulating retinol binding protein and protein C inhibitor.
CONTEXT Recent data suggest that circulating retinol-binding protein (RBP) might be involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Moreover, protein C inhibitor (PCI), which specifically binds retinoic acid, was found to be increased in myocardial infarction survivors who are also insulin resistant. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the association of insulin resis...
متن کاملCirculating retinol-binding protein-4, insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, and insulin disposition index in obese and nonobese subjects.
OBJECTIVE Recent investigations disclosed an upregulation of retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) in the adipose tissue of several insulin-resistant mouse models and increased serum RBP4 concentration in subjects with obesity and type 2 diabetes in association with insulin resistance. There is some experimental evidence that RBP4 also could been linked to insulin secretion. RESEARCH DESIGN AND ME...
