Obestatin

1. Obestatin has no effect on blood pressure in humans (SBP P = 0.818, DBP P = 0.564).

   “fasting circulating obestatin levels did not directly correlate with blood pressure in men aged ≥ 80 years”

   Circulating obestatin levels correlate with fasting insulin and HOMA-IR but not with hypertension in elderly men

1. Obestatin has no effect on hypertension in humans (5.06 ± 0.68 vs 4.72 ± 0.82 ng/mL).

   “plasma obestatin differed non-significantly between hypertensive (5.06 ± 0.68 ng/mL) and non-hypertensive (4.72 ± 0.82 ng/mL) individuals”

1. Obestatin is associated with HOMA-IR in humans (P = 0.028).
