Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı obez olmayan polikistik over sendromlu (PKOS) hastalarda progesteron ve bir immün mediatör olan progesteron kaynaklı bloke edici faktör (PIBF) düzeylerini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastalar iki gruba ayrıldı. Birinci grup PKOS tanısı alan hastalar (n=36), ikincisi sağlıklı kontrol grubu (n=36) idi. Rotterdam tanı kriterlerine göre PKOS tanısı konuldu. Hastalar 18-35 yaşları arasındaydı, obez değildi (Vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ)<25 kg/m2). Menstrual siklusun üçüncü gününde folikül uyarıcı hormon (FSH), luteinize edici hormon (LH), östradiol (E2), tiroid uyarıcı hormon (TSH), prolaktin (PRL), total testosteron ve dehidroepiandrostenedion sülfat (DHEA-S) seviyeleri ölçüldü. Aynı siklusun 21. gününde açlık kan şekeri, insülin, progesteron ve PIBF düzeyleri ölçüldü.
Bulgular: Çalışma gruplar arasında demografik ve klinik özellikleri benzerdi. Serum FSH, E2, TSH, PRL, DHEA-S, toplam testosteron, açlık kan şekeri, açlık insülini, insülin direnci için homeostatik model değerlendirmesi (HOMA-IR) ve hemoglobin A1c değerleri gruplar arasında benzerdi. LH, LH/FSH oranı, serum progesteron ve serum PIBF arasındaki farklar istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı.
Sonuç: Sonuçlarımız obez olmayan PKOS hastalarında progesteron ve PIBF düzeylerinin düştüğünü gösterdi. PKOS'ta inflamasyonun kaynağı olan ve onu alevlendiren obezitenin yokluğunda bile, altta yatan immünomodülatör olarak düşük PIBF'nin komplikasyonları tetikleyeceğini öneriyoruz.

Progesterone and progesterone-induced blocking factor (PIBF) levels in non-obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the level of progesterone and progesterone-induced blocking factor (PIBF), an immune mediator, in non-obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Materials and Methods: Totally 72 patients were recruited into study and divided into 2 groups: The first group was patients diagnosed with PCOS (n = 36) and the second was the healthy control group (n=36). The diagnosis of PCOS was made according to Rotterdam diagnostic criteria. All patients were 18–35 years old and non-obese (body mass index (BMI) < 25 kg/m2). Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), prolactin (PRL), total testosterone, and dehydroepiandrostenedione sulfate (DHEA-S) levels were measured on the third day of the menstrual cycle. On the 21st day of the same menstrual period, fasting blood glucose, insulin, progesterone, and PIBF levels were measured.
Results: Demographic and clinical characteristics of study participants were similar between the two groups. Serum FSH, E2, TSH, PRL, DHEA-S, total testosterone, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and hemoglobin A1c values were similar between the groups. Differences in LH, LH/FSH ratio, serum progesterone, and serum PIBF were statistically significant.
Conclusion: Progesterone and PIBF levels decreased in non-obese PCOS patients. We suggest that even in the absence of obesity, which is the origin and enhancer of inflammation in PCOS, low PIBF as the underlying immunomodulator will drive complications.
