Resistin is an adipokine that promotes inflammation and causes insulin resistance. Leptin and adiponectin both have roles in regulating metabolism and energy balance but do not directly promote inflammation or insulin resistance. Retinol is a form of vitamin A and chemerin is involved in immune cell recruitment and adipogenesis but do not have significant roles in promoting inflammation or insulin resistance.
