Abstract
We explored the role of Neuregulin 4 (Nrg4), a newly described factor secreted by adipose tissue, by measuring serum Nrg4 levels in humans. Circulating Nrg4 levels were significantly higher in patients with diabetes mellitus compared with controls without diabetes and were correlated with the serum glucose level and insulin resistance.Entities:
