ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between vaspin,Apelin,leptin and polycystic ovary syndrome.Methods We determined the serum vaspin,Apelin and leptin levels of 40 cases of PCOS patients and 30 cases of control group,and divided the PCOS group into three subgroups (normal weight,overweight and obesity) according to WHO criteria for obesity.Then we compared the serum vaspin,Apelin and leptin levels in PCOS and control group,and the differences in body weight index (body mass index,BMI) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome,and analyzed roles of adipokine vaspin,Apelin and leptin in the pathogenesis of PCOS.Results In PCOS patients adipokine vaspin,Apelin,leptin,insulin resistance index (Homeostasis model assessment for insulin index in resistence,HOMA-IR),fasting insulin (INS) and blood glucose,blood lipid were higher than those of the control group and increased with the increase of body mass index (BMI),and three kinds of adipokines and PCOS patients with HOMA-IR were positively correlated,there were statistically significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The results of vaspin,Apelin and leptin may be involved in the occurrence of PCOS.
