Metabolic Syndrome in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Iran
Background The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been studied in different populations, but their results were so controversial regarding Iranian women. These controversial data indicated the need for more investigation of MetS characteristics in PCOS patients in our population.

متن کاملAcute phase proteins: C-reactive protein and fibrinogen in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Females with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are characterized by several metabolic abnormalities that favor the development of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is possibly a chronic inflammatory process, and the markers of the inflammatory state, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and fibrinogen may be useful to assess the global risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. These proteins might ...
متن کاملMetabolic syndrome and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in Cubans.
OBJECTIVE We investigated metabolic syndrome and its association with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in Cuban Americans. METHODS The study included 161 nondiabetic Cuban Americans (55 men and 106 women) aged > or = 30 years living in South Florida.

متن کاملProblems with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
To the Editor: Last year, Ockene et al. (1) published a report in this journal that made the claim that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has a degree of measurement stability that is similar to that of total cholesterol and that this provides further evidence of the potential clinical utility of hs-CRP screening as a novel tool for vascular risk prediction. The key evidence that Ock...
متن کاملFamilial aggregation of circulating C-reactive protein in polycystic ovary syndrome.
STUDY QUESTION What is the heritability of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and their first-degree relatives? SUMMARY ANSWER Women with PCOS and their siblings are more likely to have elevated CRP levels when both of their parents have elevated CRP. This PCOS family-based study indicates that CRP levels are likely a heritable trait. WHAT IS KNOW...
