An electromyogram (EMG) is a test that is used to record the electrical activity of muscles. When muscles are active, they produce an electrical current. This current is usually proportional to the level of the muscle activity. An EMG is also referred to as a myogram.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Resistin also known as adipose tissue-specific secretory factor (ADSF) or C/EBP-epsilon-regulated myeloid-specific secreted cysteine-rich protein (XCP1) is a cysteine-rich adipose-derived peptide hormone that in humans is encoded by the RETN gene.esistin has been shown to cause high levels of 'bad' cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL), increasing the risk of heart disease [...] resistin increases the production of LDL in human liver cells and also degrades LDL receptors in the liver.
Renin is a peptide hormone secreted by the kidneys. It functions in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) which regulates extracellular fluid volume and arteriol blood pressure.As with other peptide hormones, the production and secretion of renin is tightly regulated by physiological processes within the body.fter renin is released from the kidney, it breaks down angiotensinogen into angiotensin I. This peptide is then broken down further into angiotensin II, which acts as a vasoconstrictor narrowing the blood vessels.
