Is omentin-1 , a novel adipokine , decreased in overweight insulin-resistant women with polycystic ovary syndrome : ex vivo and in vivo regulation of omentin-1 by insulin and glucose?
Our novel findings reveal that omentin-1 is downregulated by insulin and glucose. These may, in part, explain the decreased omentin-1 levels observed in our overweight women with PCOS.
An RI ≥0.8 indicates greater risk for major and overall biopsy complications and should result in greater caution after biopsy.
