Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy that, by the most strict definition, affects5 to 10% of women of reproductive age. There is not complete consensus about the definitive criteria forthe diagnosis of PCOS, which necessitates the searching for new biomarkers for definitive diagnosis.Thisstudy is a case/control study carried on one hundred (100) women divided into two groups: 50 women withPCOS, and 50 women were with absent features of PCOS represent a control group who were attendingthe outpatient clinic of Gynecology department at Baghdad Teaching Hospital during the period fromMarch to September, 2018. A fasting blood sample was obtained from all women during the early follicularphase (days 2–4 of the spontaneous cycle). Lipid profile, fasting blood glucose and fasting blood insulin,luteinizing hormone (LH), follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone were analyzed by immunechemiluminescence method. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding totalcholesterol, low density lipoprotein -cholesterol, high density lipoprotein -cholesterol and fasting bloodglucose. On the other hand, PCOS patients showed higher serum concentration of triglycerides and insulinresistance than controls.
