Abstract Background study of chemerin level in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCO) patients and its relation to insulin resistance (IR). Upon chemerin on adipose tissue and glucose metabolism, serum chemerin has been recently studied in (PCO) women Aim We aimed to study the level of serum chemerin in PCO patients and its relation to insulin resistance. Methods The current study included 45 subjects with PCO syndrome and 45 healthy subjects as a control group. PCO subjects were divided into 27 obese PCO and 18 lean PCO. Control women were divided into 25 obese women and 20 lean women. Measurement of serum chemerin levels, fasting blood glucose (FBG),fasting insulin (FIN), total testosterone and pelvic ultrasonography Results Serum chemerin was significantly higher in the obese PCOS group (99.65 ± 13.72 ng/mL) compared with lean PCOS (87.99 ± 5,64 ng/mL) and the obese (76.82 ± 2.39 ng/mL) and non-obese (69.19 ± 8.40 ng/mL) control groups. In PCOS women, serum chemerin levels were positively correlated with Body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.835, P < 0.001), Fasting blood glucose (FBG) (r = 0.493, P < 0.005), Fasting insulin (FIN) (r = 0.913, P < 0.001), Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (r = 0.9181, P < 0.001). Conclusion There is an increase in serum chemerin level in PCOS patients with even more significant increase in patients with obese PCOS.

Background: Ovarian androgen production can be promoted by insulin resistance which leads to reproductive abnormalities in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). A wide variety of female tissues can synthesize and secrete Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA). Androgens may take part a significant role in PSA secretion in PCOS. As insulin resistance stimulates androgen production, the baseline value of PSA may decline by insulin sensitising agents in PCOS. Present study is an attempt to measure the function of PSA as a marker of androgen excess in PCOS and to assess the role of insulin sensitising agent metformin in altering PSA level in PCOS.Methods: The study was undertaken to assess the insulin resistance, testosterone and PSA level in 45 women diagnosed as PCOS and 45 healthy controls. Alteration of insulin resistance, serum testosterone and PSA levels by metformin was also analysed.Results: A significant increase in testosterone, PSA level and insulin resistance was observed in PCOS cases when compared with control (p<0.001). When metformin was given for 4 months, improvement in insulin resistance and testosterone level was found in cases, but PSA values observed no change. Correlation was not found linking insulin resistance with PSA level prior to and after therapy.Conclusions: Serum PSA level could be detected in high significant concentration in PCOS women. Various researches explain that insulin resistance and BMI may perhaps control serum PSA level, but our result demonstrate no effect of insulin sensitising agent on serum PSA value.

Rotterdam Criteria

Introduction: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in the women of reproductive age. Studies show that there is an intensive relationship between insulin and gonadal function. As per Rotterdam Criteria, there are four major phenotypes of PCOS with different presentation. Early detection of Insulin Resistance (IR) and consequential prevention of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) associated with PCOS may lead to better prospect for the disease. Aim: To find the pattern of IR in all the phenotypes of PCOS in relation to Waist Hip Ratio (WHR), Body Mass Index (BMI) and Testosterone and thereby, providing data for designing phenotype specific treatment of the disease. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, fasting insulin and fasting glucose were analysed to calculate Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) and Testosterone for total 144 female subjects of reproductive age group (18-40 years). Subjects were classified in to four groups as per Rotterdam Criteria. Complete PCOS (PCO-COM), PCO with Oligo/Anovulation (PCO-O), Anovulation with Hyperandrogenism (O-HA), and PCO with Hyperandrogenism (PCO-HA). Regression analysis was done to find the relation among the study variables. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to analyse the significant variance among the groups. Results: IR was found to be maximum among O-HA phenotype (2.4±0.37) and lowest among PCO-HA phenotypes (1.3±0.22). Regression analysis shows that there exist significant associations between IR and BMI (t=4.96, p=0.001) as well as between IR and WHR (t=2.97, p=0.003). No independent association between testosterone and IR was observed. Conclusion: Significant difference of IR, WHR, and BMI was observed among the four phenotypes of PCOS. Due to increased IR, O-HA and PCO-COM phenotypes are more predisposed to Cardiometabolic consequences of PCOS.
