Title: Correlation between resistin in obese adolescents

Abstract

Background: Obesity has a significant impact on female fertility due to functional changes to the HPO axis. Obesity is often associated with higher circulating insulin levels which will then increase ovarian androgen production. These changes will eventually result in ovulatory dysfunction and menstrual cycle abnormalities. Serum resistin have been associated with increased insulin resistance and in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Increased insulin resistance by elevated serum resistin levels is associated with exacerbation of PCOS symptoms.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum resistin with menstrual disorders and signs of hyperandrogenism in obese adolescents.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design that compared serum resistin levels between obese adolescent girls with and without menstrual disorders group and between obese adolescent girls with and without hyperandrogenism signs.
Results: Serum resistin levels in the group of obese adolescents with oligomenorrhea and obese adolescents without oligomenorrhea were not statistically significant (1401.4 ± 855.9 vs 1117.11 ± 815.7, p=0.163). The correlation between serum resistin levels in obese adolescents was found to be very weakly associated and not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Increased serum resistin have no correlation to menstrual cycle disorders and hyperandrogen signs in obese adolescents.
