Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the association of serum chemerin levels with metabolic parameters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Chemerin is an adipocytokine associated with adiposity, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, all of which are frequently observed in polycystic ovary syndrome.
