Background: One of the leading causes of female infertility is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Adiponectin is one of many adipokines adipose tissue releases that affect insulin resistance (IR). Objective: To measure PCOS participants' IR, adiponectin, and serum insulin levels. Materials and Procedures: a case-control study involving 80 patients with PCOS (40 obese and 40 nonobese) and 80 controls (40 obesity and 40 nonobese). Adiponectin was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, while serum levels of insulin and FBS were measured using a chemiluminescent automated immunoassay system (ECL). Results: Regardless of body mass index and PCOS, women had lower levels of adiponectin and higher levels of blood fasting glucose, insulin, and IR compared to the relevant with a p-value of ≤0.001 for controls. Conclusion: According to weight, blood adiponectin levels inversely correspond to IR. It can, therefore, act as an indicator in PCOS-affected women.
