抵抗素是新发现的一种脂肪细胞分泌的多肽类激素,在胰岛素抵抗中发挥作用。已知其主要功能是调控体重、能量消耗及脂肪的分布。近年来抵抗素在生殖方面的作用备受关注,它可能是联系能量代谢与生殖功能的重要信使。本文就其结构和生理功能以及在生殖方面的作用进行综述。
Resistin is a newly discovered polypeptide hormone secreted by fat cells that plays a role in insulin resistance. Its main function is known to regulate body weight, energy expenditure, and fat distribution. Much attention has been paid to the role of resistin in reproduction in recent years. It may be an important messenger of energy metabolism and reproductive function. This article reviews its structural and physiological functions and its role in reproduction.
