Ghrelin- and GH-induced insulin resistance: no association with retinol-binding protein-4

OBJECTIVE: Supraphysiological levels of ghrelin and GH induce insulin resistance. Serum levels of retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) correlate inversely with insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes. We aimed to determine whether ghrelin and GH affect RBP4 levels in human subjects. MATERIA...
