Serum and adipocyte resistin in polycystic ovary syndrome with insulin resistance.

چکیده
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between resistin and insulin resistance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS We compared serum resistin levels in 17 PCOS women and 10 lean, healthy, age-matched non-PCOS women and also compared levels of insulin receptor (IR), phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3-kinase), glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) protein and resistin mRNA in adipocytes isolated from the omental adipose tissue of five of the PCOS patients and five age- and weight-matched, non-PCOS controls, to look for local defects in insulin action in PCOS. RESULTS The PCOS group was hyperinsulinaemic and displayed an impaired insulin response in a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test and an abnormal homeostasis model insulin resistance index. Serum resistin levels were similar in PCOS patients and controls; however, resistin mRNA levels were 2-fold higher in adipocytes from PCOS patients. No correlation was found between serum resistin levels and either the BMI or testosterone levels. Western blot analysis showed that adipocyte levels of insulin receptor, PI3-kinase, and GLUT4 were respectively decreased by 56, 39.4 and 54% in PCOS patients compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that overexpression of the resistin gene in adipocytes may be a local determinant factor in the pathogenesis of PCOS.

OBJECTIVE: Some data are available on the association between components of the insulin resistance syndrome and serum ferritin. Insulin resistance is observed in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) We hypothesize that body iron stores might be increased in these women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred and six people (103 PCOS patients and 103 healthy women who were matched for a...

Plasma adiponectin and resistin levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: relation to body mass index and insulin resistance
Results: Serum adiponectin levels were similar in the lean PCOS patients and the healthy control group. In obese patients and the control groups, serum adiponectin levels were significantly lower than those in the lean control group. Serum adiponectin levels were similar in the obese PCOS and the obese control groups. Serum resistin levels were similar in both patient and control groups. There ...
