Comparison of Plasma Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor (PEDF), Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP-4), Chitinase-3-Like Protein 1 (YKL-40) and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) for the Identification of Insulin Resistance

To evaluate and compare the association of four potential insulin resistance (IR) biomarkers (pigment-epithelium-derived factor [PEDF], retinol-binding-protein-4 [RBP-4], chitinase-3-like protein 1 [YKL-40] and brain-derived neurotrophic factor [BDNF]) with objective measures of IR.
