Abstract:
There is a strong support for a role played by adiponectin in the function of ovary and placenta.There is evidence of direct effects of adiponectin on the late stages of folliculogenesis,and additive interactions of adiponectin with insulin and gonadotropins in inducing periovulatory changes in ovarian follicles.Adiponectin has demonstrated a potential effect on ovarian function as well as a possible effect on the formation of placenta,via multiple mechanisms,providing new strategies for the etiology investigation,prevention and treatment of reproductive and related metabolic diseases.
