- 5. 1 1. INTRODUCTION (Sample) Adiponectin, an adipose tissue hormone exclusively and abundantly expressed in white adipose tissue is more closely related to insulin sensitivity and fasting insulinemia than to adiposity, which suggests that the hypoadiponectinemia inpeople with obesity is in large part attributable to insulinresistanceand/or hyperinsulinemia1. Women with PCOShave low levels of circulating adiponectin as compared to normal lean women. Though the levels are low in women with PCOS, it’s the degree of glucose intolerance and insulin resistance that is the strongest predictor of decrement of circulating adiponectin levels2. Recent research suggests that the interaction between adiponectin and PCOS pathogenesis seemindependent of BMI3. It has been reported further that high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin is reduced in PCOS women, independent of BMI and IR4. The present study will explore the association of serum adiponectin and degree of insulin levels in PCOS women. 1.1.Significance of the problem 1.2.Statement of the problem 1.3.Hypothesis 1.4.Operational definitions 1.5.Limitations 2.
