P-38: Lipid Profile in Women with PolycysticOvary Syndrome (PCOS): A ComparativeStudy

Lipid Profile and Leptin Levels in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome

Abstract Background and Objective: Metabolic syndrome called a cluster of several metabolic disorders is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Genetic differences in leptin receptor gene are related with the concentration and activity of leptin in that these discrepancies can influence lipid levels. We aimed to determine the association between the leptin receptor gene p...

Evaluation of Lipid Profile in Women with Female Pattern Alopecia

Background: The correlation between coronary artery disease and androgenic alopecia has been demonstrated, but the mechanism of this association still remains to be cleared. Objective: To investigate lipid profile, as an indicator of coronary artery disease, in women with female pattern alopecia. Methods: Fifty one women with female pattern alopecia and thirty one healthy women with normal hair...

Adrenal hyperandrogenism does not deteriorate insulin resistance and lipid profile in women with PCOS

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of adrenal hyperandrogenism on insulin resistance and lipid profile in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied 372 women with PCOS according to the NIH criteria. 232 age- and BMI-matched women served as controls in order to define adrenal hyperandrogenism (DHEA-S >95th percentile). Then, patient...

P-38: Comparison of Oxidative Stress and Antioxidative Status in non Obese Women with and without Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

The importance of lipid spectrum changes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).

AIM of the study was to compare levels of blood lipids, anthropometric characteristics and their relationship in women with PCOS with a group of healthy women. METHODS AND RESULTS We determined anthropometric indicators (BMI - body mass index, waist measurement, waist/hip ratio), blood lipid levels (total cholesterol TCH, high density cholesterol HDL, low density cholesterol LDL and triglycer...

P-212: Ala 307 Thr Polymorphism of FSHR in Iranian Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Background: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor plays an important role in FSH signaling during reproductive development. Any changes in FSHR gene is resulted in alteration of amino acid in protein chain, consequence to affect the binding affinity, intracellular signaling and expression levels of FSHR. FSHR polymorphisms can be involved in etiology of many reproductive disorders such as...
