Association between serum levels of Adipokines and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is the most common endocrine disorder associated with metabolic disorders and infertility. evidence suggests that the adipose tissue secreted products, adipokines, play an important role in the pathophysiology of pcos. reciprocally, pcos influences on the adipokines serum content, also on gene or protein expression of some of them. finding out of association between serum levels of adipokines and pcos will help to understand the pathology of pcos and identify treatment solutions of this syndrome. in this paper, we review the assosiation of several known adipokines with polycystic ovary syndrome.
