comparison of leptin concentrations between infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome and fertile women
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: some studies propose that changes in leptin concentrations (above or under the normal range) result in infertility. therefore, we investigated serum and follicular fluid leptin concentrations in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos). objective: to study serum and follicular fluid leptin concentrations in infertile women with pcos. materials and methods: we conducted a case-control study. the case group consisted of 30 infertile women with pcos who were admitted to the infertility department of imam khomainy hospital in ahvaz, iran. the control group consisted of 30 healthy fertile women adjusted for age and body mass index (bmi) with the case group. on day 14 of the menstrual cycle, 5 ml of blood was obtained from subjects in both groups. serum and follicular fluid leptin concentrations were determined by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). a biovendor kit was used for the measurement of leptin concentrations. all data were analyzed using statistical package for the social sciences (spss) software (version 17.0, nie, bent & hull, usa). results: there was a significant correlation between bmi and serum leptin concentrations in both the control (p=0.005, r=0.516) and case groups (p=0.006, r=0.547). in the case group, serum leptin concentrations were consistent with follicular fluid leptin concentrations (p<0.001, r=0.839). comparison of serum leptin concentrations between the case and control groups revealed no significant difference (p=0.56). conclusion: infertility among women with pcos was not a consequence of changes in leptin concentrations.

متن کاملSerum leptin concentrations in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
The role of gonadotropins, androgens, and insulin in the regulation of circulating leptin levels is obscure. In order to clarify the relationships of these parameters we studied serum leptin levels in 19 healthy control subjects and in 35 hyperandrogenic and hyperinsulinemic patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Serum leptin concentrations did not differ significantly between PCOS pat...
متن کاملRelationship between Serum Leptin, Ghrelin and Dietary Macronutrients in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy in women. It may involve an impairment in physiologic regulation of leptin and ghrelin. There is limited, controversial data on the relation of dietary components with leptin and ghrelin in PCOS, so the current study has been conducted to explore the effects of different macronutrients on serum levels of leptin and gh...

متن کاملA Comparative Study of Serum and Follicular Fluid Leptin Concentrations among Explained Infertile, Unexplained Infertile and Fertile Women
Background The relationship between metabolism and reproduction has been always considered as an important topic in female endocrinology. It seems that leptin is one of the involved factors in infertility. Leptin, in addition to regulating body weight plays an important role in regulation of endocrine, reproductive and immune systems. The aim of this stduy is to compare serum and follicular flu...
