Abstract :
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder associated
with metabolic disorders and infertility. Evidence suggests that the adipose tissue secreted
products, adipokines, play an important role in the pathophysiology of PCOS.
Reciprocally, PCOS influences on the adipokines serum content, also on gene or protein
expression of some of them. Finding out of association between serum levels of
adipokines and PCOS will help to understand the pathology of PCOS and identify
treatment solutions of this syndrome. In this paper, we review the assosiation of several
known adipokines with polycystic ovary syndrome.
