Abstract

Serum resistin concentrations were not significantly different between diabetic and non-diabetic women.

  • In the diabetic group, resistin levels were lower in women with the AA genotype compared to those with other genotypes.
  • Insulin and HOMA levels were higher in individuals with the AA genotype of the FTO gene.
  • Fasting blood sugar and HbA1c levels were elevated in women with AA and AT genotypes.
  • Triglyceride levels were significantly higher in the TA genotype within the diabetic group.
  • No significant correlation was found between resistin and most metabolic or anthropometric parameters, except for diastolic blood pressure in diabetic patients.
