CRISP2
Crisp2: A Key Regulator of Metabolic Health
Description
Crisp2 (cysteine-rich secretory protein 2) is a protein secreted by adipose tissue, a fat storage organ. It plays a crucial role in regulating metabolic processes, particularly glucose and lipid metabolism. Crisp2 levels are elevated in obesity and related metabolic disorders.
Associated Diseases
High Crisp2 levels have been linked to the following diseases:
- Obesity
- Type 2 diabetes
- Insulin resistance
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
- Cardiovascular disease
Did you Know ?
Studies have shown that obese individuals with high Crisp2 levels have a 30% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those with normal Crisp2 levels.
