Retinol-Binding Protein 4 and Insulin Resistance in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
OBJECTIVE Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an insulin-resistant state with insulin resistance being an established therapeutic target; however, measurement of insulin resistance remains challenging. We aimed to 1) determine serum retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) levels (purported to reflect insulin resistance) in women with PCOS and control subjects, 2) examine the relationship of RBP4 to co...
متن کاملAssociation between serum levels of Adipokines and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder associated with metabolic disorders and infertility. Evidence suggests that the adipose tissue secreted products, adipokines, play an important role in the pathophysiology of PCOS. Reciprocally, PCOS influences on the adipokines serum content, also on gene or protein expression of some of them. Finding out of assoc...
متن کاملRetinol-binding protein 4 in polycystic ovary syndrome--association with steroid hormones and response to pioglitazone treatment.
CONTEXT Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is frequently associated with insulin resistance. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate a putative role of the adipokines retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), adiponectin, and visfatin in a cohort of patients with PCOS and their response to treatment with pioglitazone. DESIGN AND SETTING We conducted a randomized, controlled, double-blind st...
متن کاملThe association between polycystic ovary syndrome and breast cancer: a meta-analysis
OBJECTIVE The results of epidemiological studies investigated the association between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and the breast cancer are inconsistent. This meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the association between PCOS and the breast cancer risk. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus for observational studies until June 2015. Data were independently extracted and analyzed...
متن کاملAssociation between paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) polymorphisms and polycystic ovary syndrome susceptibility: a meta-analysis
Several investigations have focused on the relationship between paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) polymorphisms and the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS); however, the result remains conflicting. To obtain a more precise estimation of the correlation between PON-1 polymorphisms [rs705379 C>T (-108C/T), rs854560 T>A (55Leu/ Met) and rs662 A>G (192Gln/Arg)] and the risk of PCOS, we performed a meta-an...
