objective: to compared serum crp levels and biochemical relation in pcos patients with normal iranian women. materials and methods: this case-control study was performed on 52 individuals with pcos (rotterdam 2003 criteria). the cases were compared to 104 healthy non-pcos, 20 to 35-year-old female subjects with no history of diabetes or renal diseases. blood samples were taken on the 2(nd) to t...

BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age. The study was commenced to assess the favorable effects of Rutin against metabolic, biochemical, histological, and androgenic aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome in rats. METHODS Female Sprague-Dawley rats were administered letrozole (1 mg/kg) per orally (p.o) for a period of 21 day...

background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive women. nearly 10% of young women in this period involved. although factors such as insulin resistance, hyper insulinemia, obesity and dietary are suggested to be associated with pcos, cause of pcos is not completely understood. dairy products (a key component of the usual diet) of participants can...

objective: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women. metformin is a biguanide commonly used to improve pcos symptoms. effect of metformin on the levels of serum homocysteine (hcy) in pcos women is unclear. the aim of this study is evaluating the effect of metformin administration on serum hcy levels and metabolic parameters of pcos patients. materi...

background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is a disorder in which there are numerous benign cysts that form on ovaries under a thick white covering that is one of the causes of infertility. follistatin is a single chain glycosylated polypeptide that can bind to activin. when follistatin binds to activin it suppresses the role of activin to stimulate the secretion of follicle stimulating hormo...

Epidermoid cysts of the ovary are rare lesions and are uniformly incidental findings in hysterectomy specimens. They must be differentiated from mature cystic teratomas of the ovary, and some authors believe them to be monodermal teratomas. The histogenesis is still uncertain. We report an epidermoid cyst of the ovary which was an incidental finding.

background: poly cystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) is the most prevalent endocrinopathy among women and the most common underlying diagnosis for anovulatory infertility. the role of insulin-resistance (ir) and hyperinsulinemia in pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of the syndrome depicts the importance of evaluation of the efficacy of insulin reducing medications. n acetyl cysteine (nac) ...

a 22-year-old patient with 9 months of amenorrhea and a huge abdominal swelling was admitted to our institution with an ultrasonography report of a multiloculated cystic space-occupying lesion, almost taking up the whole abdomen (probably of ovarian origin), along with a single live intrauterine fetus. she delivered vaginally a boy baby within 4 hours of admission without any maternal complicat...
