From: Resistin Induces Hypertension and Insulin Resistance in Mice via a TLR4-Dependent Pathway
Effect of resistin on hypertension and insulin resistance in mice.
(A) Plasma resistin levels were measured in control and resistin-treated (retn) mice after 6 days PBS or resistin treatment; (B) Blood pressure (BP) in wild-type (WT) mice. BP was measured before resistin treatment (day 0, D0) and after 6 days of resistin treatment (day 6, D6); (C) Plasma glucose levels; (D) Plasma insulin levels; (E) HOMA-IR was calculated using the following formula: fasting glucose (mmol/L) × fasting insulin (mU/ml)/22.5. Retn group was injected with 400 ng/day resistin, while the control group was injected with PBS. Injections were performed once per day for 6 consecutive days. Data are presented as mean ± sd (n = 9–10). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
