Abstract
Background: Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ that secretes a large number of proteins under normal and pathophysiological conditions. Resistin, a new adipocyte hormone described as low-molecular weight, adipokine as member of a cysteine-rich secretory protein family. It was found to be predominantly expressed in adipocytes, to mediate insulin resistance and to show increased circulating levels in obesity (Li et al, 2009). Conclusions: Resistin was found to be positively correlated with presence of type 2 DM and with higher admission capillary blood glucose and also with the long term Diabetic control as presented by HBA1C. In the same time, Resistin was positively correlated with presence of NON-STEMI specially in diabetic patients and with the level of cardiac enzymes. This confirms the diagnostic and prognostic role of Resistin as inflammatory marker and adipokine
