Abstrakt: There is increasing evidence that selenium (Se) and its major transport protein, selenoprotein-P (SePP), may be associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the association of serum Se and SePP levels with circulating adipokines in this population has not received sufficient attention. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the associations of serum Se and SePP with circulating adipokine levels in patients with PCOS. In this cross-sectional study, 115 patients aged 18-45 years with PCOS diagnosed according to the Rotterdam Consensus Criteria were recruited. The general characteristics of the participants were collected using a general questionnaire and anthropometric measurements were taken. Blood samples were obtained and serum levels of leptin, adiponectin, visfatin, resistin, and omentin-1, as well as markers of glucose metabolism, were measured. Serum levels of Se and SePP were inversely correlated with fasting blood glucose (FBS), serum insulin, and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). In addition, serum levels of Se and SePP were positively correlated with serum levels of adiponectin and visfatin. Although there was no significant correlation between serum Se and serum omentin-1 levels, a significant positive correlation was found between serum SePP levels and this adipokine. The present study found that serum Se and SePP levels were positively correlated with serum adiponectin and visfatin levels. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
