Adipokines have been suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Omentin is an adipokine secreted essentially by visceral adipose tissue with an insulin‐sensitizing effect. Insulin resistance (IR) is a common feature of PCOS, therefore the aim of this study was to investigate omentin‐1 level in adolescent girls with PCOS and its relationship with IR and androgens.
