عنوان انگلیسی Reduction of Soluble Leptin Receptor Levels in Women with Unexplained Infertility and the Effect of Leptin Receptor Gln223Arg Polymorphism on its Serum Level
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Background and Objectives: Soluble Leptin Receptor (sOB-R) is the most important leptin-binding protein that can affect the level of active biological leptin. The Gln223Arg polymorphism in the leptin receptor gene is associated with obesity, which can be a factor for infertility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sOB-R levels in women with unexplained infertility and to investigate the effect of leptin receptor (LEPR) gene polymorphism on sOB-R serum level. Methods: One hundred and two women with unexplained infertility and 112 fertile women were studied in this case-control study. The subjects in both groups had a normal hormonal profile with the age below 40 years. The sOB-R levels were measured using ELISA method. Results: There was a 2-fold decrease in sOB-R level in the infertile group compared to the control group (P=0.001). Although sOB-R levels were lower in overweight and obese infertile subjects, this difference was not significant. However, this difference was significant compared to the control group. There was a direct correlation between BMI, age, and infertility. Although sOB-R levels in Arg/Arg genotypes were higher in the infertile group than Gln/Gln and Arg/Gln genotypes, they were not statistically significant. A significant decrease was observed in sOB-R levels of Gln/Gln and Arg/Gln genotypes in the infertile group compared to the control. Conclusion: There was a reverse correlation between sOB-R levels and unexplained infertility. It seems that by a decrease in serum sOB-R, the serum leptin levels increase which can enhance leptin inhibitory effects in infertility.
