Key result
Insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome was associated with significantly lower serum adiponectin levels compared to those without insulin resistance (P < 0.05).
Why the study?
Are serum adipocytokine levels associated with insulin resistance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome?
Population
61 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Comparison
Insulin resistance (IR) vs Non-insulin resistance (non-IR)
Design
Cross-sectional

May mark insulin resistance in PCOS; hypothesis-generating cross-sectional link leaves causality and therapeutic implications open.
Observational (n=61)
Are serum adipocytokine levels associated with insulin resistance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome?
p-value: p=<0.05
Lower serum adiponectin levels are associated with insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Wang et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (n=61). Insulin resistance vs. Non-insulin resistance was evaluated on Serum adiponectin level (p=<0.05). Insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome was associated with significantly lower serum adiponectin levels compared to those without insulin resistance (P < 0.05).
