This study aims to explore adiponectin levels during puberty in girls with type 1 diabetes mellitus and their correlation with androgen concentrations and ovarian volume.
Compared adiponectin, testosterone levels, and ovarian volume in 56 pubertal girls with DM1 and 59 healthy controls.
Assessed the effects of diabetes, body mass index standard deviation scores, testosterone, and ovarian volume on adiponectin levels.
Used regression analysis to identify significant factors affecting adiponectin concentrations.
Adiponectin levels were higher in DM1 girls compared to controls at the start of puberty.
Significant decrease in adiponectin concentrations during puberty in DM1 girls (r = -0.427, p = 0.002).
Negative correlation found between adiponectin levels, ovarian volume (r = -0.427, p = 0.002) and testosterone (r = -0.262, p = 0.049) in DM1 group.
