Relationship Between Leptin Insulin Resistance and PCOS Infertility - 03-27-2017

چکیده
In a normal menstrual cycle the hypothalamus in the brain signals the release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which, in turn stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release FSH followed by LH. These hormones target the granulosa and theca cells respectively within the ovary. The dual action of these hormones causes the follicle to mature, and during its maturation oestrogen is increased. The endometrium is thickening and a surge in LH induces ovulation.

Leptin, Ghrelin, Adiponectin, Homocysteine and Insulin Resistance Related to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The relationship between leptin, adiponectin, ghrelin, homocysteine, insulin resistance and other biochemical factors in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is controversial. We review how the expanded role of these factors in reproduction might impact our understanding of PCOS. For purposes of our review, we accessed the PUBMED database during the past 10 years. Our review confirms tha...

متن کاملSerum Leptin Level in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Correlation with Adiposity, Insulin, and Circulating Testosterone
BACKGROUND Leptin, an adipocyte-derived hormone encoded by 'ob' gene, serves as a link relaying metabolic signals to the neuronal networks in the brain to modulate hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis. Circulating leptin correlates strongly with obesity, which is frequently associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a major form of dysovulatory infertility in women, characterized by endo...
متن کاملAssociation of Low Zinc Concentration and Hyperleptinemia with Overweight and Insulin Resistance in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Women
Background and Objective: It has been reported that low concentration of zinc in serum is associated with insulin resistance (IR), also appears to be a relationship between insulin and leptin. In this study the possibility of increased leptin concentration and zinc deficiency was evaluated; in the following, their relationship with overweight and IR was investigated in women with polycystic ova...

Introduction: There are high concentrations of LH in Polycystic Ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients. These patients are usually obese and have increased leptin levels in their blood. It is not clear whether obesity or increased leptin levels cause changes in the hypothalamus- pituitary axis. This study evaluated the blood leptin, LH and FSH levels in PCOS group and compared them with a control group...
