Retinol binding protein, TNF alpha, Interleukin, Chimerin are some.
Some can reduce insulin resistance- Adiponectin
Insulin resistance is characterized by a decreased response to insulin in target tissues, leading to higher blood sugar levels. This can result from various factors, including genetics, obesity, physical inactivity, and inflammation. Insulin resistance is often accompanied by alterations in lipid metabolism, increased levels of free fatty acids in the blood, and changes in adipokine secretion from fat cells.
An adipokine is a cytokine secreted by adipose tissue.
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.
Insulin is the hormone that promotes the storage of glucose by the liver. It signals liver cells to take up glucose from the bloodstream and convert it into glycogen for storage.
Diabetes Mellitus
Genetic factors contributing to insulin resistance cannot be changed as of the early 2000s.
Type one diabetes
In its mildest form, insulin resistance causes no symptoms, and is only recognizable on laboratory tests.
obesity increases insulin resistance and thereby reduces the effectiveness of insulin.
Insulin is an anabolic hormone as: 1) it promotes glycogen synthesis & inhibits glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in carbohydrates. 2) it promotes lipogenesis & inhibits lipolysis. 3) promotes protein synthesis & inhibits protein degradation
