Objective: Chemerin a novel adipokine; affects the lipid and glucose homeostasis along with adipose tissue metabolism. Elevated levels of peptide have shown to be associated with disruption of normal insulin function and systemic inflammation, which also results in hyperglycemia in clinical diabetes. This study aims to identify whether chemerin in conjunction with TNFα and hsCRP can act as screening marker to identify subclinical diabetes.Methods: F...

Background: Leptin facilitates onset of puberty by impacting hypothalamic Kisspeptin, gonadotropin releasing hormone, follicle stimulating and luteinizing hormone. The link of peripheral Leptin-Kisspeptin in regulating the ovarian and endometrial tissue in relation to adiposity is unknown. Therefore, we wanted to identify their association with body mass index (BMI) and success of assisted reproductive treatments (ART) in infertile females.<p class="abst...

Objective: To study association of endometrial thickness measured on ovulation induction (OI) day with cycle outcome after ICSI.Subjects and methods: It was a quasi experimental design carried out in an infertility clinic from July 2011 till June 2012. The treatment comprised of down regulation of ovaries, controlled ovarian stimulation, oocyte pick up, IVF, embryo (blastocysts) transfer followed by confirmation of pregnancy with beta hCG more than 25 mI...
