The results of this study showed that serum nesfatin-1 level was lower in the SCF group than in the NCF group. Nesfatin-1 could play a role in the pathogenesis of SCF phenomenon with mechanisms such as inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. Further studies are needed to determine the relation between SCF and nesfatin-1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
