Why the study?
Do serum adiponectin levels differ between women with PCOS and healthy controls, and how do they relate to fat mass?
Do serum adiponectin levels differ between women with PCOS and healthy controls, and how do they relate to fat mass?
Adiponectin concentrations in women with PCOS are primarily driven by fat mass rather than insulin sensitivity or the presence of PCOS itself.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Adiponectin testing adds little to PCOS evaluation beyond obesity; leaves open whether fat mass reduction alters levels independently of PCOS.
Orio et al. (2003) studied this question.
