Insulin Resistance and Colorectal Cancer Risk: the Role of Elevated Plasma Resistin Levels

ConclusionsThe findings of the present study reinforce the hypothesis that higher plasma levels of resistin in connection with insulin resistance play a role in susceptibility to colorectal, notably rectal, cancer. Nevertheless, further studies with bigger sample sizes are required to validate these findings.
