Asprosin is a novel peptide hormone produced and secreted by white adipose tissues. Asprosin associated with insulin resistance and promotes hepatic glucose production. Previous studies showed that serum asprosin was raised in the general population with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, there were studies supporting the opposite. Also, there were studies that showed the highest levels of asprosin was due to insulin resistance, as well as in type 2 diabetes patients. PCOS is one of the metabolic disorders related to insulin resistance. Therefore, the current study aims to evaluate the levels of asprosin in the blood serum of women with PCOS compared to the healthy women who resident in Duhok in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 20th of June, 2020 to 11th of January, 2021 at Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital and Mazi medical clinics. Serum asprosin level was determined in 75 women with PCOS (18-44 years) and 96 healthy women. SPSS software was utilized for analyzing the study data. The (means ± SD) of demographic parameters (body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC)) in women with PCOS were significantly highest in comparison to healthy women. The biochemical parameters (serum asprosin, fasting blood sugar (FBS), fasting insulin (FI), total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG)) in women with PCOS also were remarkably higher compared to healthy women with the exception of high-density lipoprotein- cholesterol (HDL-C). The current data show that serum asprosin variance significantly between WC, BMI, FBS, FI, TC, TG and HDL-C. The study confirms that serum asprosin in women with PCOS was higher than in the healthy women. In addition in women with PCOS it was found that serum asprosin was positively correlated with BMI, WC, FBS, FI, HOMA-IR, TC and TG (P<0.05). Except, HDL-C was negatively correlated with serum asprosin (P<0.01).

In Pregnancy

Pregnancy hypertensive disorders such as Preeclampsia (PE) are strongly correlated with insulin resistance, a condition in which the metabolic handling of D-glucose is deficient. In addition, the impact of preeclampsia is enhanced by other insulin-resistant disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome and obesity. For this reason, there is a clear association between maternal insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome, obesity and the development of PE. However, whether PE is a consequence or the cause of these disorders is still unclear. Insulin therapy is usually recommended to pregnant women with diabetes mellitus when dietary and lifestyle measures have failed. The advantage of insulin therapy for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) patients with hypertension is still controversial; surprisingly, there are no studies in which insulin therapy has been used in patients with hypertension in pregnancy without or with an established GDM. This review is focused on the use of insulin therapy in hypertensive disorders in the pregnancy and its effect on offspring and mother later in life. PubMed and relevant medical databases have been screened for literature covering research in the field especially in the last 5-10 years.

: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects about 15% of women of reproductive age and is correlated with infertility, insulin resistance, and obesity. The etiology of PCOS is multifactorial and genetic, endocrine, and metabolic causes were involved. New evidence suggests a link between microorganisms residing in the digestive tracts of humans and the development of PCOS. Moreover, an imbalance in the gut microbial community could be a possible factor for the onset of insulin resistance and obesity. Hyperandrogenism, a key feature of PCOS, could also play a critical role in shaping the microbiome community. Probiotics could modify the gut microbiota and serve as a potential treatment for PCOS. Here we disclose the association between PCOS and intestinal microbiota and the possible role of probiotics as a new treatment approach.
