Adipocytokine Profile Reveals Resistin Forming a Prognostic-Related Cytokine Network in the Acute Phase of Sepsis

Abstract

Adipocytokines and an inflammatory cytokine profile assessed over time in sepsis patients showed that resistin was involved in an inflammatory cytokine network including IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and MCP-1 in the acute phase of sepsis, and this network was associated with severity and prognosis of sepsis.
