Abstract
Since the end of 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has spread worldwide, it causes risks to public health. Adipokines perform a hormonal function and the most important adipokines that have received research interest are resistin, which is an important link between insulin resistance, and diabetes. This study aimed to estimate the level of Resistin and level of glucose and their relationship to diabetes in Covid-19 patients. The study was conducted on 65 patients with covid-19 and 23 healthy individuals in a control group, Resistin was assessed by the ELISA technique, it was resistin levels in male and female Covid-19 patients high(737.5714±103.44982, 638.5000±85.20096 respectively pg\ml) when compared to healthy males and females (363.7692±26.83405, 394.0000± 30.59412 respectively pg\ml).An elevated glucose level was observed in male and female patients (122.2000±9.703, 145.6667±11.55 mg/dl respectively)when compared to healthy males and females (90.8462±6.346, 102.3000±7.701 mg /dl respectively), This research found a high level of Resistin in Covid-19 patients.Therefore, it can be used as an important indicator to signify the complications of COVID-19 disease as well as for diagnosis, this hormone may have a relationship in causing new diabetes after infection Covid-19.
