Abstract
The significant increase in serum leptin levels during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation indicates a possible role of leptin in reproductive function. The increase in leptin levels is negatively correlated with ovarian response evaluated by E2 production and number of oocytes retrieved. This might be due to the reduced ovarian response through negative feedback of leptin to the ovaries at high levels.
