Main Article Content
Abstract
To compare plasma homocysteine levels in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) with healthy controls. In this prospective case-control study, homocysteine levels of 200 PCOS women and 200 controls matched by body mass ratio (BMI) were evaluated. The mean level of homocysteine in patients with PCOS was 16.12 ± 0.12 µmol/L and in controls was 11.56 ± 0.04 µmol/L(p=0.030) . Patients with PCOS had a higher risk of hyper homocysteinemia than BMI-matched control women. These data suggest that homocysteine levels are high in the PCOS population. More studies are needed to specifically characterize this relationship
