Abstract:Adiponectin is an up-regulating factor for the balance of insulin and energy. Resistin may inhibit fat transformation and act as a feedback regulator of fat formation and adipose tissue. Leptin mainly regulates food intake, liver glucose production, gonadotropin secretion, adipose tissue lipogenesis inhibition and immune response regulation. It has been recently found that hyperovulation is induced by adiponectin, and high leptin may interfere with mature oocyte. There is no consistent conclusion of serum levels of adiponectin, resistin and leptin are decreased in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. The levels of adiponectin and leptin in fetal growth limited umbilical blood are decreased, and leptin levels are increased in gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. Conclusions of resistin in umbilical cord blood and maternal blood of gestational diabetes mellitus patients are different.
