Impact of FTO genotypes on BMI and weight in polycystic ovary syndrome : a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Aims/hypothesis FTO gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been shown to be associated with obesity-related traits and type 2 diabetes. Several small studies have suggested a greater than expected effect of the FTO rs9939609 SNP on weight in ...

Variations of Steroid Hormone Metabolites in Serum and Urine in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome after Nafarelin Stimulation: Evidence for an Altered Corticoid Excretion. [PDF]
To evaluate the clinical relevance of testing pituitary-ovarian responses in patients suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with the GnRH agonist nafarelin, a 1.2-mg dose of nafarelin was given intranasally to 19 women with PCOS and 15 healthy ...

GHRELIN AND INSULIN RESISTANCE IN A SAMPLE OF IRAQI WOMEN WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with adiposity and metabolic changes predisposing to insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. Ghrelin is an appetite-stimulating hormone, which acts through its receptor on the hypothalamus to regulate
