Abstract. In the modern world, it remains relevant to search for and study new biological markers that can help early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, serve as a laboratory tool for assessing the effectiveness of therapy, be a prognostic marker of possible adverse clinical outcomes and a significant criterion for risk stratification. The purpose of this review is to consider resistin as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in cardiovascular pathology based on the analysis of foreign and domestic literature sources from the PubMed, RSCI, MedLine, Google Scholar, Science Direct databases. Many studies have described such functions of resistin as metabolism of glucose and lipids in the blood, modulation of satiety centers in somatotrophic cells of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, regulation of the central nervous system, synthesis and secretion of various pro-inflammatory cytokines and differentiation of monocytes into macrophages, effect on heart contractility, angiogenesis , smooth muscle cell activity and kidney function. Blood resistin levels in healthy people are in the range of 7–22 ng/ml (average 15 ng/ml). Further work is required to determine the specific resistin receptor, which will subsequently lead to the identification of specific signaling pathways and will help clarify the role of this biological marker in type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular diseases.
