Filter by:The type-2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM）, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease complications induced by polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) with insulin resistance(IR）, which become serious threat to public health. In this observational study, obese patients with PCOS,nonobese patients with PCOS, PCOS patients with impaired glucose tolerance（IGT）, PCOS patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM）, and healthy volunteers would enrolled into this study, through the Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry coupled to Mass Spectrometry（ LC-MS/MS）and Rapid Resolution Liquid Chromatography（RRLC） and Quadrupole Linear Trap（QTRAP）Mass Spectrometry coupled to Mass Spectrometry （MS/MS）analysis of serum samples collected from PCOS patients and healthy volunteers to screen the biomarker of diagnosis for PCOS with insulin resistance, to explore the correlation between traditional chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome（phlegm, kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis，dampness-heat of liver channel）and metabolites of PCOS.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders occurring in women of reproductive age. PCOS is considered a syndrome of ovarian dysfunction that is characterized by the heterogeneous clinical manifestation of infrequent or absent menstrual cycles, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology. An important ultrasound parameter is the ratio stroma/ovary, the ratio of the volume, evaluated in two-dimensional ultrasound, of the stroma, that secrete androgen, and the ovary. It has been shown that when this ratio is higher than a third the levels of circulating androgens and high. Aim of the present study is to assess whether this ratio, determined with three-dimensional ultrasound, is correlated to the increase of androgens.
The primary aim of this study is to determine the effect of dopamine agonist therapy on insulin resistance in lean vs. obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common metabolic abnormality in women. The diagnosis of PCOS relies on a constellation of symptoms and signs (problems with ovulation, clinical and/or biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism and cystic ovaries). Though not a diagnostic feature, insulin resistance (IR) is a hallmark of PCOS and up to 80% women with PCOS have IR. Although IR is more significant in obese women with PCOS, even lean women can be insulin resistant. No current therapy addresses the problem of insulin resistance in PCOS. Studies have suggested a dopamine deficiency in patients with PCOS, which may underlie the insulin resistance and may have a pathogenetic role in the development of PCOS. No study to date has assessed the impact of dopamine agonist therapy on IR in patients with PCOS.
