Evaluation of Adiponectin and Hepcidin with some Biochemical Parameters in Sera of Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most recorded endocrinological condition that impacts women throughout their fertile years and causes a variety of clinical symptoms. The study included 60 women with PCOS and 60 women who were matched for age and body mass index (BMI) and excluded the participants refrain from vigorous exercise and drink anything with alcohol or caffeine. were tested levels for IR, insulin, Hepcidin, Adiponectin, lipids profile in control and PCOS. and found Reduced levels (non sig.) of adiponectin have been documented in Iraqi patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. There was an inverse relationship between IR and hepcidin levels in both groups meaning increase in IR (0.001) and decrease in hepcidin (0.001) levels may increase the risk of PCOS. well found that lipid profile (HDL, LDL, TG) that is non-significant but cholesterol high significant 0.001 in patients.
