Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex, heterogeneous, multigenic disorder in women of childbearing age with multiple consequences. The exact mechanism of PCOS is not yet fully understood; There are several factors have a role such as genetic, environmental, nutritional, metabolic and other interactions Therefore, the existing study designed to estimate the levels of some biochemical tests and the sex hormones that have a role in PCOS progress. 100 Iraqi women were agreed to participate in the current study, divided into two groups included 50 clinically diagnosed with PCOS women that compared with 50 healthy women without PCOS as a control group (CTRL). The results showed different significant differences of the studied parameters between the PCOS and the CTRL. There was a significant increased level of FBG, HbA1c, insulin resistant, TG and LDL in the PCOS group in comparison to the CTRL, while a significant decreased level of HDL was appeared in PCOS group in comparison to the CTRL. Regarding the results of sex hormones, there were significant increased levels of LH, FSH, testosterone, estradiol hormones in the PCOS group in comparison to the CTRL. In addition, the results of thyroid hormones appeared a significant increased level of T3 hormone in the PCOS group in comparison to the CTRL. Also, the results of leptin hormone showed a significant increased level in the PCOS group in comparison to the CTRL. In conclusion, there was a significant relationship between FBG, HbA1c, insulin resistant, TG, LDL, HDL, LH, FSH and T3 parameters with PCOS.
