Abstract

Introduction: Low adiponectin levels in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) have been largely attributed to obesity which is common among these patients. In addition, evidence also suggests that low adiponectin in PCOS may be related to insulin resistance (IR) in these women. However, studies on the role of adiponectin in younger and lean patients are limited. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the association of adiponectin levels in young and lean women with PCOS.Methodology: This case control study included 75 participants for each.75 women for cases were included who had PCOS. This study was carried in Department of Biochemistry & Department of Obs/Gynae in Patna Medical College, Patna, Bihar. The duration of study was over a period of two years.Results: The result of this study revealed that adiponectin level <13.0 in 27 PCOS cases and in 45 healthy participants, rest were having >13.0 adiponectin level. Conclusion: This study concludes that the serum adiponectin levels can be used as a potential independent biomarker for diagnosis of PCOS.
