Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common gynecological endocrinopathies. In the literature, many studies support the involvement of IR (insulin resistance) and some adipokines in the pathophysiology of PCOS. In our study, we aimed to investigate the relationships of apelin, chemerin, nesfatin, IR, and MS (metabolic syndrome) to help clarify the pathophysiology of PCOS. We included 120 people in our prospective cohort study. We divided these 120 cases into three equal groups: a control group of healthy participants and two case groups of participants suffering from PCOS with a BMI below 30 and above 30. We conducted this study in a tertiary hospital between January 2014 and July 2014. We investigated the study groups in terms of demographic information, biochemical values, hormonal parameters, apelin, chemerin, and nesfatin values, and the relationships between MS and IR. Apelin, chemerin, and nesfatin values were 0.233±0.027 ng/dl, 232.79±221.87 ng/dl, and 2.11±1.27 ng/dl in the control group. These values were 0.304±0.093 ng/dl, 313.57±379.04 ng/dl, and 0.85±0.91 ng/dl in the nonobese PCOS patient group, respectively. The same parameters were 0.304±0.093 ng/dl, 344.31±386.23 ng/dl, and 0.74±1.42 ng/dl in the obese PCOS patient group. The HOMA-IR values of the groups were 1.79 ± 0.68, 3.61 ± 5.45, and 4.58 ± 4.39, respectively. The distribution of cases diagnosed with MS within the groups was 0%, 10%, and 17.5%, respectively. We compared all these statistically significant results (p<0.005). The fact that blood nesfatin levels are significantly lower and apelin and chemerin levels are significantly higher in PCOS patients suggests that the synthesis and secretion of these adipokines are effective in the mechanism of the disease. The development of MS. Comprehensive prospective studies are needed to clarify this situation.
