BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to examine whether patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) should be excluded before making a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS Seven hundred sixteen patients, 462 with true PCOS, 31 with PCOS-SCH, and 223 normal cycling women were enrolled. Clinical, metabolic, and hormonal parameters among the groups were investigated. Cont...

purpose to determine the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) in women who exercise regularly. methods all women under age 45 from an industrial company who had past history of exercising more than 6 months enrolled in this cross-sectional study. prevalence of pcos and comparison of bmi between pcos and non-pcos subgroups was done. the diagnosis of pcos was based on the revised 2003 r...

to assess the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors (particularly androgens) on circulating levels of lipid fractions, serum androgen and lipid fractions were measured in 34 pairs of female-female twins aged from 15- 45 years, some of whom were discordant for polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) diagnosed by ultrasound. nineteen pairs were monozygotic twins (mz) and 15 pairs we...

OBJECTIVE Idiopathic hirsutism (IH) or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are the most common causes of hirsutism which affects 5-10% of all women. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of flutamide plus diane 35 in the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS 26 polycystic ovary syndrome and 24 idiopathic hirsutism patients were evalua...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate whether glucocorticoid receptor gene polymorphisms are associated with clinical and metabolic profiles in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a complex endocrine disease that affects 5-8% of women and may be associated with metabolic syndrome, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Cortisol action and dysregulation...

Background: Meta-analysis was used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aspirin combined with letrozole in treatment polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Objective: We examined the relationship between insulin resistance and vascular function in three insulin resistant states (type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-HIV lipodystrophic diabetes, and non-diabetic polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)) and in healthy controls. Research Design and Methods: The population included 12 women with type 2 diabetes, 6 with lipodystrophic diabetes, 10 with polycystic ova...

OBJECTIVES: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder that affects reproductive-age women. The mechanisms underlying the endocrine heterogeneity and neuroendocrinology of polycystic ovary syndrome are still unclear. In this study, we investigated the expression of the kisspeptin system and gonadotropin-releasing hormone pulse regulators in the hypothalamus as well as facto...
