Relationships between circulating leptin concentrations and other hormonal parameters in obese and non‐obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Aim: To clarify the role of leptin in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), we analyzed whether serum leptin levels correlate with other hormonal parameters in obese and non‐obese women with PCOS. Methods: We studied 20 obese (body mass index, BM ≥25 kg/m2) and 20 non‐obese (BMI
