Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that adipocytes secrete a unique signalling molecule, which is named resistin (for resistance to insulin), which circulating resistin levels are decreased by the anti-diabetic drug rosiglitazone, and increased in diet-induced and genetic forms of obesity.

TL;DR: The RELMs together with resistin comprise a class of tissue-specific signaling molecules that share a cysteine composition and other signature features and suggest a role in intestinal proliferation.
