leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, homocysteine and insulin resistance related to polycystic ovary syndrome

Authors
abstract

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 that these factors can have etiopathogenetic importance in some enigmatic reproductive disturbances such as pcos. moreover understanding the role of these biochemical factors might be useful for new treatments in pcos.

High Serum Ferritin Concentrations in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is Not Related to Insulin Resistance

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...

Insulin Resistance and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

BACKGROUND Insulin resistance and the associated compensatory hyperinsulinemia are common findings in women with PCOS, and may play a key role in this condition. METHODS In this article, we focused on the significance of insulin resistance in PCOS, reviewing the available literature on epidemiology, pathogenesis, pathophysiology and treatment of this condition. RESULTS It has been estimated...

Relationship 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...

relationships between free leptin and insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

background: leptin is an adipokine that circulates in a free form and bound to a soluble leptin receptor. patients with polycystic ovary syndrome have increased insulin resistance and high incidence of obesity. objective: this study was carried out to evaluate levels of leptin and free leptin in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) and note any relationships with insulin resistance and...
