1. Baseline RBP4 levels and MELD scores predicted 21-day (/=25) mortality, respectively. In critically ill patients with underlying liver disease, with a link to eGFRs, INRs and TC levels, the baseline RBP4 may serve as a marker for short-term mortality. PMID: 28588245

19. Data suggest that, in subjects with chronic kidney disease, renal function is inversely related to serum RBP4 levels; as GFR decreases, the relationship between RBP4 and insulin resistance is attenuated. (GFR = glomerular filtration rate, a measure of kidney function) PMID: 28473187
20. Results identified RBP4 as a promising acute liver failure (ALF) biomarker among energy metabolism-related proteins. RBP4 values signaled liver injury at an early stage, as its decreasing level was observed before ALT elevation in the pig ALF model, and its significant decreasing level in ALF patients. PMID: 28336726

26. Low levels of vitamin A, E and RBP4 at the time of renal cell carcinoma diagnosis are associated with a poorer prognosis after surgery. PMID: 28668878
27. RBP4 is some 6-fold lower when active TB patients have chronic energy deficiency (CED) than when BMI is >25 kg/m sq; however, free fatty acids were not associated with CED in active TB patients, which may be a type 2 error or represent an energy impasse where infection and the host's metabolic needs are in competition. PMID: 28625041
28. Data show that the tissue-specific expression pattern of human transgenic retinol binding protein 4 (hRBP4orf) was roughly the same as that of mouse Rbp4. PMID: 28134916

The results of this meta-analysis support the hypothesis that RBP4 is a modest independent risk factor for gestational diabetes mellitus (i.e., nonobese patients with gestational diabetes mellitus might express RBP4 at abnormal levels).The association between RBP4 rs3758539 polymorphism and gestational diabetes mellitus risk was not confirmed. PMID: 26975349
