Resistin, a 10-kDa adipose tissue specific secretory protein, has recently been implicated in exerting a negative effect on systemic insulin sensitivity. It is, however, not known how resistin mediates this insulin-desensitizing effect or what regulatory mechanisms control resistin expression. Resistin-like molecule-\u03b1 (RELM\u03b1), a homolog of resistin originally identified by its upregulation in asthmatic lung, is another secreted protein expressed in adipose tissue. The regulation of RELM\u03b1 in adipose tissue and its relationship to resistin expression has not been addressed so far. Here, we demonstrate that the expression of resistin and RELM\u03b1 are similarly regulated in adipose tissue despite the fact that RELM\u03b1 is exclusively expressed in the stromal vascular fraction of adipose tissue and not in adipocytes. Interestingly, this coregulation is limited to adipose tissue as the expression of RELM\u03b1 in lung is independent of metabolic regulation. Additionally, we show that resistin and RELM\u03b1 levels are not subject to regulation by proinflammatory stimuli. Finally, acute hyperglycemia leads to up-regulation of resistin and RELM\u03b1 transcription in various adipose depots.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/me.2002-0048","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,10,1]],"date-time":"2002-10-01T22:03:34Z","timestamp":1033509814000},"page":"1920-1930","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":128,"title":["Cell
