Resistin
Okay kiddo, let's talk about resistin. It's a type of protein that our bodies make naturally. It's called "resistin" because it can make it harder for insulin (another important hormone in our body) to do its job properly.
Insulin helps our body regulate the amount of sugar in our blood. But when resistin gets in the way, insulin can't work as well as it should. This means our body may have trouble moving sugar out of our blood and into our cells, which can lead to high blood sugar levels.
Scientists think that resistin might play a role in diabetes and obesity. When someone has too much fat in their body, they may produce more resistin than they need. This can make it even harder for their body to regulate blood sugar levels.
So, resistin is kind of like a troublemaker that can make it harder for our body to regulate blood sugar. But, scientists are still studying more about it to understand how it works and how we can keep our bodies healthy.
