Active clinical trials for "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome"

This is an original study giving an information about the association body mass index, polycystic ovary syndrome and betatrophin.

This study evaluates taste function and eating habits in patients with PCOS compared to healthy women and before and after oral contraceptive use.

This study intends to collect about 150 cases of follicular fluid samples from PCOS and non-PCOS infertility patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles (in clinical routines).We tend to detect Raman metabolic profile of the follicular fluid of the PCOS and non-PCOS groups, and find the correlation between the metabolic profile of the follicular fluid of PCOS patients and the oocyte quality, IVF outcome and subsequent embryo development are also under investigation. Metabolomics analysis was applied to look for markers of follicular fluid in PCOS patients, and further exploring data and strategies to improve the embryonic development potential and IVF outcome of PCOS patients.

The purpose of this study is to understand the experience of living with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as an active duty Service Woman. As part of a budding research program, this proposed study will lay the groundwork for future intervention studies targeting the management of PCOS in a military population.

Periodontal diseases are chronic inflammatory disease occurred by the interaction between pathogenic microorganism and the host defense. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a reproductive and metabolic disease associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. Endocan is a proteoglycan secreted mainly by endothelial cells under the control of inflammatory cytokines. Periodontal diseases, including gingivitis, are common chronic infectious diseases caused by predominantly pathogenic microorganisms that colonize the subgingival area and cause local and systemic elevations of proinflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6). Several lines of evidence established the association between periodontal and systemic diseases, including metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Because of the fact that both periodontal disease and PCOS are associated with systemic inflammation and insulin resistance, these two disorders may be linked through a common pathophysiologic pathway. A number of studies have indicated a possible relationship between PCOS and periodontal inflammation. Despite common risk factors, including oxidative stress, the relationship between chronic periodontitis (CP) and PCOS remains unclear. The aims of the study were to determine serum and saliva Endocan and IL-6 levels and to evaluate the correlation between these two biomarker in women with periodontal disease and PCOS.

Objectives: Evaluation of the cardiovascular (CV) risk in a sample of CV asymptomatic infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Patients & Methods: 100 infertile PCOS women older than 30 years (PCOS group) and 50 fertile non-PCOS women (Non-PCOS group) underwent gynecological and laboratory diagnosis and then underwent a diagnostic protocol consisting of determination of body mass index (BMI), Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) scoring and cardiologic evaluation using echocardiography, estimation of carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT), coronary artery calcium (CAC) score using multi-slice non-contrast cardiac CT and cardiac risk ratio (CRR). Study outcomes included the incidence of abnormal cardiac risk parameters and the determination of the best minimally invasive modality to be used as a screening test for these women.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is associated with hyperandrogenism, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance starting in the perimenarchal period. Insulin resistance also increases the risk of developing glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disorders. Studies on adult women with PCOS show that their aerobic capacity is affected. Therefore, in this study; it was aimed to compare the physical and cardiovascular fitness levels of adolescent PCOS patients with healthy adolescents.

This is a Phase IV, prospective, observational, single arm, multicenter trial to identify the population at high risk of overstimulation associated with signs and symptoms of PCOS and examines the utility of 12.5 international units (IU) increment of Gonal-f® new pen for individualized controlled ovarian stimulation (iCOS).

The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy amongst women of reproductive age. PCOS is associated with various cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia hypertension and the metabolic syndrome. Whether these increased cardiovascular risk factors result in the development of actual cardiovascular disease in later life remains to be established. Women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), experience menopause prior to the age of 40 years. Women with POI may exhibit dyslipidemia. A young age at menopause has been previously associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

In the present study, serum chitotriosidase activity and its relationship with insulin resistance were determined in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
