Relationships between Serum Resistin and Fat Intake, Serum Lipid Concentrations and Adiposity in the General Population

Abstract

In the general population, the serum resistin level is associated with fat intake: positively with saturated fat intake and inversely with monounsaturated fat intake. As a consequence, the resistin level is also inversely associated with adherence to the Mediterranean diet. In addition, the resistin level is inversely associated with the serum cholesterol level and adiposity.
