High-Molecular-Weight Adiponectin Is Selectively Reduced in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Independent of Body Mass Index and Severity of Insulin Resistance

Abstract

HMW adiponectin is selectively reduced in women with PCOS, independent of BMI and IR. Gene expression analysis suggests that posttranscriptional/translational modification contributes to reduced HMW adiponectin in PCOS.
