Circulating Growth Arrest-Specific 6 Protein Is Associated With Adiposity, Systemic Inflammation, and Insulin Resistance Among Overweight and Obese Adolescents

Circulating Gas6 levels are strongly associated with adiposity, inflammation, and insulin resistance status among overweight and obese adolescents. The potential role of the Gas6/TAM system in the initiation of childhood obesity and obesity-associated complications deserves further attention.
