OBJECTIVE To assess the correlation of intrafollicular insulin, leptin and adiponectin levels with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) outcome. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 46 patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation/intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Follicular fluid (FF) samples collected at oocyte retrieval were assayed for insulin, leptin and adiponectin levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and correlations with ART outcome were analysed. RESULTS There was no significant correlation between intrafollicular insulin, leptin and adiponectin levels. There was a significant difference in the concentration of insulin (P = 0.007), but not leptin or adiponectin, between pregnant (n = 20) and non-pregnant (n = 26) cycles. Only two pregnancies was observed in the 12 cycles in which the concentration of insulin was greater than 7 mU/l in FF, while 18 pregnancies was observed in the 34 cycles in which the concentration of insulin was less than 7 mU/l (P = 0.043). The significantly high concentration of insulin in FF was observed in non-pregnant cycles of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest the possible involvement of intrafollicular insulin in folliculogenesis. Insulin resistance-related substances may affect the reproductive process in patients with PCOS.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011256 Pregnancy Outcome Results of conception and ensuing pregnancy, including LIVE BIRTH; STILLBIRTH; or SPONTANEOUS ABORTION. The outcome may follow natural or artificial insemination or any of the various ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNIQUES, such as EMBRYO TRANSFER or FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D052242 Adiponectin A 30-kDa COMPLEMENT C1Q-related protein, the most abundant gene product secreted by FAT CELLS of the white ADIPOSE TISSUE. Adiponectin modulates several physiological processes, such as metabolism of GLUCOSE and FATTY ACIDS, and immune responses. Decreased plasma adiponectin levels are associated with INSULIN RESISTANCE; TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS; OBESITY; and ATHEROSCLEROSIS.
