Insulin resistance and high molecular weight adiponectin in obese and non-obese patients with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Abstract: Background Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy among young women. Insulin resistance is a key feature in the pathogenesis of PCOS; also high molecular weight adiponectin is a marker of insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the insulin resistance, metabolic and androgenic profiles and high molecular weight adiponectin in obese and non-obese PCOS patients. Methods In this cross-sectional study in o… Show more

“…1,8,22 This unusual condition alters fat distribution pattern, obesity, muscle mass, and hormonal function such as hyperandrogenism and induces multiple health complications including dysfibrinolysis, intravascular thrombosis, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular risks, and PCOS (Figure 2). 1,8,22,41,42 Insulin stimulates gonadotrophinreleasing hormone (GnRH) secretion from the hypothalamus involving mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and GnRH induces secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) from adenohypophysis that augments ovarian steroidogenesis, specifically androgens. 22,43 Insulin suppresses insulin-like-growthfactor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) via PI3K pathway in hepatocyte and ovary that induces insulin-like-growth-factor-1 (IGF-1) availability.…”

“…PCOS raises the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diseased women display resistance to insulin, independent of fat [ 2 ]. PCOS was assumed to occur from functional ovarian hyperandrogenism (FOH) generated by insufficient production of androgen [ 1 ].…”
