Human studies regarding resistin and ghrelin in diabetic patients are scarce, especially in the cases of normotensive and non-obese patients. This study was designed to illuminate some of the missing points.Methods: Eighty diabetic patients and eighty healthy individuals participated in this study according to the inclusion criteria [age, gender, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP) and diabetes type]. Fasting and postprandial glucose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), insulin, acylated-ghrelin and resistin were evaluated for all the participants while HOMA and QUICKI were calculated. Results: Fasting and postprandial glucose, HbA1c, insulin and calculated HOMA increased, while QVICKI decreased among the diabetic patients (p M3 ER -
