TLDR
Overweight women have a higher incidence of menstrual dysfunction and anovulation, and are at a high risk for reproductive health, and weight loss has beneficial effects on the reproductive outcomes in patients.Abstract:
The prevalence of obesity and overweight are increasing and have become an epidemic worldwide. Obesity has detrimental influences on all systems, including reproductive health. The prevalence of obesity in infertile women is high, and it is well known that there is an association between obesity and infertility. The relationship between obesity and reproductive functions is still being explored. Overweight women have a higher incidence of menstrual dysfunction and anovulation. Overweight and obese women are at a high risk for reproductive health. The risk of subfecundity and infertility, conception rates, miscarriage rates, and pregnancy complications are increased in these women. They have poor reproductive outcomes in natural as well as assisted conception. These poor reproductive outcomes include assisted reproduction such as ovulation induction, in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI), and ovum donation cycles. Weight loss has beneficial effects on the reproductive outcomes in these patients.read more

Abdominal obesity increases metabolic risk factors in obese versus non-obese adults in Karbala
TL;DR: In this article , a case-control study included 80 obese patients and 28 healthy people from the obesity clinic at the hospital in Karbala's Al-Hussein general teaching hospital and the results indicated a substantial decrease in serum levels of atrial natriuretic peptide hormone in obese and non-obese patients as compared to controls in both sexes.

Impact of white poisons in Management of Women with Pcos
TL;DR: The purpose of the study was to collect data on how many women had symptoms of this syndrome including hirsutism, amenor rhoea, dysmenorrhoea and oligomenorrhOEa and the ratio of women who were aware of this disorder was evaluated.

The hormone resistin links obesity to diabetes
Claire M. Steppan,Shannon T. Bailey,Savitha Bhat,Elizabeth J. Brown,Ronadip R. Banerjee,Christopher M. Wright,Hiralben R. Patel,Rexford S. Ahima,Mitchell A. Lazar +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that adipocytes secrete a unique signalling molecule, which is named resistin (for resistance to insulin), which circulating resistin levels are decreased by the anti-diabetic drug rosiglitazone, and increased in diet-induced and genetic forms of obesity.

Adiponectin and adiponectin receptors in insulin resistance, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome
TL;DR: The pathophysiology of adiponectin and adiponECTin receptors in insulin resistance, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome is described and potential versatile therapeutic targets to combat obesity-linked diseases characterized by insulin resistance are described.

Adiponectin and Adiponectin Receptors
TL;DR: It is shown that AdipoR1 and AdIPoR2 serve as receptors for globular and full-length adiponectin and mediate increased AMP-activated protein kinase, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha ligand activities, and glucose uptake and fatty-acid oxidation by adiponECTin.

Weight loss in obese infertile women results in improvement in reproductive outcome for all forms of fertility treatment.
TL;DR: Weight loss should be considered as a first option for women who are infertile and overweight, and the cost savings of the programme were considerable.
