Abstract

Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) has been implicated in metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but few studies have looked at transthyretin (TTR) with which RBP4 is normally bound to in the circulation. We report on the systemic levels of RBP4 and TTR and their associations with insulin resistance, obesity, prediabetes, and T2DM in Asian Indians.
