Fetuin-A as a Potential Biomarker of Metabolic Variability Following 60 Days of Bed Rest

Fetuin-A as a Potential Biomarker of Metabolic Variability Following 60 Days of Bed Rest

Background: Fetuin-A is a hepatokine linked to the development of insulin resistance. The purpose of this study was to determine if 60 days head-down-tilt (HDT) bed rest increased circulating fetuin-A and if it was linked to whole body insulin sensitivity (IS). Additionally, we examined whether reac...
