Aim and Objectives: The study aimed to find out correlation between leptin level and MS components.
Materials and Methods: This was a randomized cross-sectional study involved 150 MS patient. Fasting blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin, lipid profiles, leptin and insulin assays, and other anthropometrics measures were measured using standard protocols.
Results: The results revealed that there was significant correlation between leptin level and body mass index, gender, fasting blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin, P < 0.01.
Conclusion: This study was showed that there was significant impact of leptin level on MS.
Key words: Leptin; Metabolic syndrome; Glycated Hemoglobin
