Obesity, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia are the most significant risk factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) but the role of adipokines in the pathogenesis of this disease is not clear. Assessment of retinol binding protein (RBP-4) seems to be promising because data from animal and human studies suggest its role in the pathomechanism of insulin resistance. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate the serum levels of RBP-4 in children with NAFLD.
