The College of Science for Women, University of Baghdad, discussed the Master’s thesis entitled \u201cAssessment of Asprosin , Subfatin, and Insulin Resistance levels in Iraqi Women Diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome<\/strong>\u201d submitted by the student )Walaa Najm Abdulwahid<\/strong> (in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biology \/ Zoology, under the supervision of Assistant Professor Dr. Reem Mohammed Obaid.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Objectives of the Thesis<\/div><\/span>
[vc_column_text css=””]The objectives of this study are summarized as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The thesis aimed to investigate the relationship between these newly discovered adipokines and insulin resistance in women diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>

Content of the Thesis<\/div><\/span>
[vc_column_text css=””]The study included the measurement of the concentrations of these adipokines (Asprosin and Subfatin), insulin resistance indices, and sex hormones in Iraqi women diagnosed with PCOS. A total of 120 women were enrolled in the study and divided into three groups: two patient groups, including a normal-weight group and an obese group, while the third group served as the control group. Each group consisted of 40 women. Samples were collected in Baghdad.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>

    \n
  1. The results demonstrated a significant increase in Asprosin levels among patients, particularly those with obesity and insulin resistance, suggesting its association with the metabolic alterations accompanying the syndrome.
    \nThe findings also revealed elevated Subfatin levels in women with PCOS who suffered from obesity and insulin resistance, supporting the hypothesis that this adipokine may play a role in the metabolic and inflammatory responses associated with the disorder.
    \nThese findings indicate that Asprosin and Subfatin may serve as promising biomarkers for improving the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying PCOS and for assessing the severity of its associated metabolic disturbances.
    \nThe study recommends conducting further clinical and molecular investigations to clarify the precise role of Asprosin and Subfatin in the development of PCOS and to explore their potential applications in early diagnosis, disease monitoring, and future therapeutic strategies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
