Variations of Serum Leptin and Resistin levels in Healthy non- Diabetic women with different degrees of Obesity

ABSTRACT The role of leptin and resistin serum concentrations in pathogenesis of obesity is considered an emerging topic issue in clinical biochemistry researches. This study was carried out to evaluate the variation of leptin and resistin serum levels in women with different grades of obesity.
