A guide to understanding polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Leptin, Ghrelin, Adiponectin, Homocysteine and Insulin Resistance Related to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

The relationship between leptin, adiponectin, ghrelin, homocysteine, insulin resistance and other biochemical factors in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is controversial. We review how the expanded role of these factors in reproduction might impact our understanding of PCOS. For purposes of our review, we accessed the PUBMED database during the past 10 years. Our review confirms tha...

P-214: Testosterone to Induce Mice Models for The Study of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common causes of anovulation, infertility and hyperandrogenism in women, affecting 5-10% of women of reproductive age. Due to the ethical limitations on human experimentation, appropriate animal models that mimic many or all PCOS characteristics would facilitate research leading to improved understanding of the pathogenesis of PCOS...

Pathophysiological mechanisms of gonadotropins– and steroid hormones–related genes in etiology of polycystic ovary syndrome
