Brief Title: Hepassocin Levels in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Official Title: Hepassocin Levels in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Study ID: NCT04369248
Brief Summary: The investigators aimed to investigate hepassocin levels in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). There are 3 groups aged between 18 and 35 years as non-obese healthy women, non-obese women with PCOS, and obese women (BMI\>30) with PCOS.
Detailed Description: Hepassocin, also known as Fibrinogen-like-protein or hepatocyte-derived fibrinogen-related protein 1, is a new marker for obesity and insulin resistance. In hepatic injury, it protects liver cells and promotes regeneration. High levels of hepassocin was shown to be independently associated with HOMA-IR and diabetes. Since insulin resistance is known to be seen in patients with PCOS, it may be expected that hepassocin levels may be higher in this group of patients.
