P-205: Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Plasma Lipoproteins in Overweight and Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most frequent endocrine disorders. Obesity and anovulation in the women affected by this syndrome leads to a type of obesity that is followed by cardiovascular disease, hypertention and cholesterol and lipoprotein improper profiles. Changing the life style, e.g. increasing physical activities is the first approach in controlling PCOS Materials and Methods: 24 women affected by PCOS after medical screening were divided into two groups: Experimental group (n=12) and control group (n=12), with the average age, weight, height, BMI and WHR of 26.87 ± 4.43 years, 75.71 ± 10.65kg.159.29 ± 6.44 cm, 29.86 ± 3.22 kg/m2 and 91.75 ± 5.86, respectively, First, the body composition such as BMI, WHR, Percent of body fat, weight and body fat mass were measured. Then blood samples from the people under test and HDL, LDL, VLDL, triglyceride and cholesterol were measured.Then the experiment group underwent the effect of an aerobic exercise (a type of physical activity that increases the heart rate and promotes increased use of oxygen in order to improve the overall body condition) program. After 12 weeks all the measured variables before intervension the test were re-measured. Correlated t test was used for comparing the two groups before and after intervension the test and independent t test was used for comparing the two groups (p<0.05). Results: The results showed that after 12 weeks of exercise, BMI, WHR, fat rate, weight and fat mass and triglyceride had significant reduction and HDL had significant increase. But no significant changes happened in LDL, VLDL, and cholesterol levels. Conclusion: In addition to confirming the positive effect of aerobics on body compositions and lipoproteins of plasma, the findings showed that the risk reduction of cardiovascular diseases in obese and overweight people affected by polycystic ovary syndrome is possible by reducing the weight doing aerobic exercises.

Effect of aerobic training in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder amongst women of reproductive age and is associated with various metabolic perturbations. Chronic low grade inflammation has been reported to participate in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. In this study we examined the effects of 8 weeks aerobic training on serum C-reactive protein level and cardiometab...

In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), cardiovascular risk is increased. Peak O2 uptake (V˙O2peak) predicts the cardiovascular risk. We were the first to examine the contribution of systemic O2 delivery and arteriovenous O2 difference to V˙O2peak in overweight and obese women with PCOS. Fifteen overweight or obese PCOS women and 15 age-, anthropometry-, and physical activity-matched control women...

Background: The main characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is oligomenorrhea with clinical and biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism(HA) and the phenotypic spectrum of PCOS is very broad. There are very limited studies about the features of patients with PCOS in Iran. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and laboratory characteristics of PCOS between the overweight ...

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinopathies in young women. PCOS affects 6% and 8% of women in reproductive age. Hyperandrogenism is the hallmark of PCOS. Clinically, it is possible to observe hirsutism, acne, androgenic alopecia, and signs of virilization. Laboratory examination reveals increased androgen levels. Excessive androgen has an important r...
