1 Role of adiponectin and its receptor in prediction of reproductive outcome of metformin treatment in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Metformin adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing Homo sapiens
2 AIMS: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of metformin on serum adiponectin and adiponectin receptor-1 (AdipoR1) and evaluate their role in prediction of ovulation in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Metformin adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing Homo sapiens
3 Group 1 showed post-metformin higher adiponectin and AdipoR1 (P = 0.01) and lower HOMA-IR (P = 0.006) and T (P = 0.001) compared to pre-treatment levels. Metformin adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing Homo sapiens
4 Post-metformin ovulatory patients had higher adiponectin and AdipoR1 and lower HOMA-IR and T compared to anovulatory patients. Metformin adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: Metformin treatment enhances both adiponectin activity and insulin sensitivity, resulting in a less hyperandrogenic state in patients with PCOS. Metformin adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing Homo sapiens
