Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnostic criteria and phenotypes in polycystic ovary syndrome are heterogeneous. Currently, it is unclear how to assess a patient's prognosis based on the onset time of menstruation disturbance. Evidence on this topic is scarce and has mainly focused on menstrual patterns. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the association between the onset time of menstrual disturbance and clinical features and in vitro fertilization pregnancy outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. STUDY DESIGN Our study was a secondary analysis of data collected as part of a randomized controlled trial conducted to compare live birth rates between fresh embryo transfer and frozen embryo transfer in 1508 individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome. Here, 1500 participants were classified into 2 groups according to the onset time of menstrual disturbance: immediately after menarche (early group) and after at least 1 year of regular menstruation (late group). We compared the prepregnancy clinical features, variables of ovarian stimulation, pregnancy outcomes after the initial cycle of embryo transfer, and perinatal and neonatal complications in the 2 groups. RESULTS Compared with the late group, the early group had more antral follicles (32.00 [range, 27.25-39.50] vs 28.00 [range, 24.00-36.00]; P<.001), an elevated level of antimüllerian hormone (7.02 ng/mL [range, 3.60-11.47] vs 5.66 ng/mL [range, 3.65-8.92]; P=.024), a higher level of baseline luteinizing hormone (10.01±5.93 vs 8.51±5.53 IU/l; P<.001) and luteinizing hormone-to-follicle-stimulating hormone ratio (1.51 [range, 1.00-2.32] vs 1.45 [range, 0.92-2.13]; P<.001), lower levels of fasting glucose (5.47 mmol/L [range, 5.11-5.73] vs 5.50 mmol/L [range, 5.17-5.76]; P<.001), and insulin at 2 hours after 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (56.85 µU/mL [range, 34.63-94.54] vs 59.82 µU/mL [range, 33.56-94.67]; P=.027), a higher level of high-density lipoprotein (1.26 mmol/L [range, 1.04-1.37] vs 1.21 mmol/L [range, 1.07-1.45]; P=.006). During in vitro fertilization, the early group had a higher level of peak estradiol (4596.50 pg/mL [range, 2639.25-6321.00] vs 3954.00 pg/mL [range, 2378.75-6113.50]; P=.013), and luteinizing hormone (2.52 IU/L [range, 1.40-4.21] vs 1.93 IU/L [range, 0.91-3.32]; P=.010) on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin trigger. There was no statistically significant difference observed in the number of oocytes and embryos, the rates of pregnancy and live birth, and the risks of obstetrical and neonatal between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION An early onset of menstrual disturbance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome may be associated with slightly more severe reproductive features and slightly milder metabolic features. Nonetheless, the outcomes of in vitro fertilization and the initial cycle of embryo transfer were comparable between the 2 groups.

Abstract
This is a narrative review of the progress of research on the correlation between insulin resistance and infertility. Insulin resistance (IR) is not only involved in the development of various metabolic diseases, but also affects female reproductive function, and to some extent is closely related to female infertility. IR may increase the risk of female infertility by activating oxidative stress, interfering with energy metabolism, affecting oocyte development, embryo quality and endometrial tolerance, affecting hormone secretion and embryo implantation, as well as affecting assisted conception outcomes in infertile populations and reducing the success rate of assisted reproductive technology treatment in infertile populations. In addition, IR is closely associated with spontaneous abortion, gestational diabetes and other adverse pregnancies, and if not corrected in time, may increase the risk of obesity and metabolic diseases in the offspring in the long term. This article provides a review of the relationship between IR and infertility to provide new ideas for the treatment of infertility.

Abstract
The nutritional as well as beneficial effects of the Artocarpus communis seed on metabolic syndrome complications have not been studied. In this research, the aim was to investigate the nutritional composition and beneficial effects of Artocarpus communis seeds' phytoconstituents on the p53 core, fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) protein and cytochrome P450 CYP11A1 domains. The elements and phytochemicals in the seed were determined through atomic absorption spectroscopy assay and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, respectively. Also, the compounds detected were docked to the p53 core, FTO protein and cytochrome P450 CYP11A1 domains protein. Artocarpus communis seed contains sodium (7.824 ± 0.0134 ppm), magnesium (10.187 ± 0.0239 ppm) and iron (1.924 ± 0.0017), while zinc and cadmium were undetected. Phenolics and flavonoids were the most abundant phytochemicals in the seed. Phytoconstituents, such as pentadecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid and methyl ester, possessing different therapeutic effects were identified via GC-MS analysis. In A. communis seed, 3-methyl-4-nitro-5-(1-pyrazolyl) pyrazole and phenanthrene were able to bind more peculiarly and specifically to the p53 core, FTO protein and cytochrome P450 CYP11A1 domains. One of the important processes that were hypothesized for the recovery of metabolic syndrome in affected victims is shown by the molecular dynamics analysis, which shows that the binding of these chemicals to the targeted structure stabilized the proteins. Therefore, Artocarpus communis seeds could be a new strategy for the management of metabolic syndrome.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to compare the serum renalase levels of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women with and without metabolic syndrome (MS) and those of healthy non-PCOS women. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-two patients diagnosed with PCOS and age-matched 72 healthy non-PCOS were included in the study. The PCOS group was divided into two groups as having metabolic syndrome or not. General gynecological and physical examination findings and laboratory results were recorded. Renalase levels in serum samples were determined using Enyzme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay method. RESULTS Mean serum renalase level was significantly higher in PCOS patients with MS compared with both PCOS patients without MS and healthy controls. Additionally, serum renalase correlates positively with body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum triglyceride and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance values among PCOS women. However, systolic blood pressure was found to be the only significant independent factor that can affect the serum renalase levels. A serum renalase level of 79.86 ng/L had a sensitivity of 94.7% and specificity of 46.4% in discriminating PCOS patients with metabolic syndrome from healthy women. CONCLUSIONS Serum renalase level increases in women with PCOS in the presence of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, monitoring the serum renalase level in women with PCOS can predict the metabolic syndrome that may develop.

Abstract
Recent compelling evidence has shown that neck circumference (NC), as a reliable and convenient anthropometric index, has better predictive values of hyperuricemia and insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) compared with traditional anthropometric measurements. Since both PCOS and metabolic syndrome (MetS) share similar characteristics and affect long-term health of women, we conducted this cross-sectional study to explore the correlation of NC with MetS and metabolic risk factors. Anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, glycemic and lipid profile of 633 PCOS and 2,172 non-PCOS women from January 2018 to June 2021 were analyzed. The results showed that the prevalence of MetS was 28.0% and 9.4% in PCOS and non-PCOS women, respectively. The prevalence of MetS, hypertention, obesity, central obesity, hyperglycemia and dyslipidaemia was also significantly higher in both PCOS and non-PCOS women with larger NC. Additionally, logistic regression analysis showed that PCOS women in the highest quartile of NC had the highest prevalence of MetS (RR = 9.94, 95%CI: 2.41-40.99) after adjusting for confounding factors, while the association between NC and MetS was much attenuated after adjusting for confounding factors in non-PCOS women. Furthermore, we also identified that the optimal NC cutoff value was 33 cm in PCOS women for the prediction of MetS. The potential mechanism could be attributed to the increased release of adipokines and excessive free fatty acids release from subcutaneous adipose tissue, which consequently precipitate the development of MetS. In conclusion, NC was found to be positively and independently correlated with the prevalence of MetS.

Abstract
Adiponectin (rs17300539) is implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome (MS), a common comorbidity of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The aim of this study was to analyze the association between adiponectin gene polymorphism and incidence of MS in patients with PCOS. The study included 201 women (age 18 to 35 years), among them 81 patients with PCOS without concomitant MS, 70 subjects with PCOS and concomitant, and 50 regularly menstruating controls. Adiponectin gene polymorphism (11391 G/A, rs17300539) was determined by means of a real-time PCR. The study groups did not differ significantly in terms of their age and frequencies of various genotypes of the adiponectin gene polymorphism. The largest proportion in the whole group was Caucasian women (n = 178, 88.56%), who carried the GG genotype of the polymorphism; frequencies of GA and AA genotypes in the whole study group were 10.94% (n = 22) and 0.5% (n = 1), respectively. The presence of G or A allele of the rs17300539 adiponectin gene polymorphism was not associated with a greater likelihood of PCOS with/without concomitant MS. The hereby presented findings imply that MS is a common comorbidity in women with PCOS. However, the incidence of concomitant MS does not seem to be associated with adiponectin gene polymorphism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the prevalence of metabolic disturbances in a large cohort of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in southeastern Brazil and to compare the findings with other cohorts of Brazilian women with PCOS. METHODS A retrospective study analyzing clinical and laboratory data of 462 women with PCOS treated at an outpatient clinic in a tertiary hospital in southeastern Brazil. Prevalence of insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, central obesity, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome was compared to that of other cohorts of age and body mass index-matched Brazilian women with PCOS. RESULTS Women with PCOS had a median age of 25.0 (21.0-29.0) years and BMI of 28.7 (23.9-34.0) kg/m2 . Prevalence of insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and type 2 diabetes varied from 39.6% to 55.0%, 7.2% to 28.1%, and 2.0% to 4.1%, respectively. Prevalence of central obesity, dyslipidemia due to decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia, and metabolic syndrome ranged from 57.8% to 66.4%, 54.1% to 70.4%, 22.9% to 35.1%, and 27.4% to 38.3%, respectively, which did not differ among regions in Brazil. CONCLUSION Prevalence of metabolic disturbances was high among Brazilian women with PCOS. This study suggests that, from a public health perspective, authorities in Brazil should be aware of and encourage screening for metabolic dysfunction in women with PCOS in all regions of the country.

PURPOSE The aims of this study were to investigate the correlation of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and the components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and explore the ability of SHBG to predict MetS in newly diagnosed and untreated patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS Ninety-eight newly diagnosed and untreated patients with PCOS and 37 healthy volunteers were recruited. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to explore the best cutoff values of SHBG for predicting that the patients with PCOS would fulfill at least one abnormal index of MetS components, at least two abnormal indexes of MetS components, or MetS. RESULTS The numbers of patients with PCOS who fulfilled none, one, or two of the MetS criteria items and MetS were 33, 31, 19, and 15, respectively. SHBG was negatively correlated with BMI (r = - 0.615, P < 0.001), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (r = - 0371, P < 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (r = - 0.285, P = 0.004), triglycerides (TG) (r = - 0.431, P < 0.001), fasting serum insulin (I0) (r = - 0.549, P < 0.001), HOMA-IR (r = - 0.557, P < 0.001), and plasma glucose 2 h after glucose load (G120) (r = - 0.337, P < 0.001) and positively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (r = 0.629, P < 0.001) in patients with PCOS. The optimal cutoff value of SHBG for predicting MetS in patients with PCOS was 21.3 nmol/L, with a sensitivity of 100.0% (95% CI 78.0-100.0%) and specificity of 85.12% (95% CI 77.5-90.9%). CONCLUSIONS Sixty-five patients had varying degrees of metabolic abnormalities, accounting for 66.3% of the patients with PCOS. SHBG was associated with metabolic indexes, including BMI, SBP, DBP, TG, I0, HOMA-IR, G120, and HDL-C, and can therefore be employed as a useful index for MetS prediction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are two interrelated but distinct endocrine problems with several health consequences secondary to insulin resistance. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of MetS in women with PCOS. METHODS This was a cross sectional study carried out from May 2017 to October 2017 at the gynecology outpatient clinic of a tertiary care private hospital in Hyderabad, India. Eligible women diagnosed with PCOS according to Rotterdam criteria were enrolled. The primary outcome was the prevalence of MetS diagnosed by the modified NCEP ATP III criteria. RESULTS The study comprised 382 patients with a mean age of 26.8 ± 5.3 years. MetS was present in 147 (38.5%) women with PCOS. The most frequently observed individual components of MetS were increased waist circumference and decreased HDL cholesterol. When predictors for MetS were analyzed by multivariate regression, BMI (aOR 1.14; 1.06-1.23; p ≪0.001) and age (aOR 1.12; 1.06-1.17; p ≪0.001) were significantly associated with MetS; however, the effect size was modest. CONCLUSION A high prevalence of MetS was observed in women with PCOS at this tertiary center in Hyderabad, with abdominal obesity and low HDL cholesterol as predominant components. We believe that universal screening of all PCOS women is a reasonable option.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder, which affects 4-10 % women of reproductive age. Though accumulating scientific evidence, its pathogenesis remains unclear. In the current study, metabolic profiling as well as diagnostic biomarkers for different phenotypes of PCOS was investigated using non-invasive urinary GCMS based metabolomics. A total of 371 subjects were recruited for the study. They constituted the following groups: healthy women, those with hyperandrogenism (HA), women with insulin-resistance (IR) in PCOS. Two cross-comparisons with PCOS were performed to characterize metabolic disturbances. A total of 23 differential metabolites were found. The altered metabolic pathways included glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, pentose and glucuronate interconversions, and citrate cycle and butanoate metabolism. For differential diagnosis, a panel consisting of 9 biomarkers was found from the comparison of PCOS from healthy subjects. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was 0.8461 in the discovery phase. Predictive value of 89.17 % was found in the validation set. Besides, a panel of 8 biomarkers was discovered from PCOS with HA vs IR. The AUC for 8-biomarker panel was 0.8363, and a panel of clinical markers (homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance and free androgen index) had 0.8327 in AUC. While these metabolites combined with clinical markers reached 0.9065 in AUC from the discovery phase, and 93.18 % in predictive value from the validation set. The result showed that differences of small-molecule metabolites in urine may reflect underlying pathogenesis of PCOS and serve as biomarkers for complementary diagnosis of the different phenotypes of PCOS.

Abstract
CONTEXT Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition of androgen excess in women, is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors; however, this association is not fully characterized in a population-based sample of premenopausal women and high-risk groups such as Hispanics/Latinas. OBJECTIVE We examined the association of PCOS signs and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in premenopausal Hispanic/Latina women. METHODS This cross-sectional analysis includes 1427 women age 24 to 44 years from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. PCOS signs included menstrual cycle greater than 35 days or irregular, self-reported PCOS, and oral contraceptive use to regulate periods or acne, and a composite of 1 or more PCOS signs. We calculated odds ratios (OR) and 95% CI for MetS, accounting for sociodemographic factors and the complex survey design; an additional model included body mass index (BMI). RESULTS The mean age was 34 years and 30% reported any PCOS sign. The odds of MetS were higher in women reporting cycles greater than 35 days or irregular (OR 1.63; CI: 1.07-2.49) vs cycles 24 to 35 days, self-reported PCOS (OR 2.49; CI: 1.38-4.50) vs no PCOS, and any PCOS sign (OR 1.58; CI: 1.10-2.26) vs none. We found no association between OC use to regulate periods or acne and MetS (OR 1.1; CI: 0.6-1.8). When adjusting for BMI, only the association of self-reported PCOS and MetS was attenuated (OR 1.78; CI: 0.92-3.44). CONCLUSIONS In Hispanic/Latina women, irregular menstrual cycles, self-reported PCOS, and any PCOS sign were associated with MetS and could indicate women at metabolic disease risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE With a high incidence of insulin resistance, central obesity and dyslipidemia, women with polycystic ovary syndrome are susceptible to metabolic syndrome (MetS). Our objective was to explore whether metabolic syndrome had an effect on overall female fertility and in vitro fertilization outcomes in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome. STUDY DESIGN This was a secondary analysis of a multicenter randomized trial in 1508 women with polycystic ovary syndrome, which was originally designed to compare the live birth rate after fresh-embryo transfer vs frozen embryo transfer (Frefro-PCOS). At baseline, metabolic parameters, including body mass index, waist and hip circumference, blood pressure, lipid profile, fasting, and 2 hour glucose and insulin levels after a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test were measured. All subjects were divided into a metabolic syndrome group (metabolic syndrome) and absence of metabolic syndrome group (nonmetabolic syndrome) according to diagnostic criteria. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models tested the association between metabolic syndrome and overall fertility and in vitro fertilization cycle stimulation characteristics and clinical outcomes. RESULTS Metabolic syndrome was identified in 410 of 1508 infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (27.2%). Patients with metabolic syndrome had longer infertility duration (4.0 ± 2.2 vs 3.7 ± 2.2, P = .004) compared with those without metabolic syndrome. During ovarian stimulation, those with metabolic syndrome required significantly higher and longer doses of gonadotropin and had lower peak estradiol level, fewer retrieved oocytes, available embryos, a lower oocyte utilization rate, and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome than those with nonmetabolic syndrome. The cumulative live birth rate did not show a significant between-group difference (57.8% vs 62.2%, P = .119). Multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, duration of infertility, body mass index, thyroid-stimulating hormone, metabolic syndrome group, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, metformin utilization, number of available embryos, and embryos transferred showed that the number of embryos transferred and the number of available embryos were positively but metabolic syndrome negatively associated with the cumulative live birth rate (odds ratio, 2.18, 1.10, and 0.70, respectively, P < .05). CONCLUSION Women with polycystic ovary syndrome with metabolic syndrome have a negative impact from female fecundity, and this suggests an adverse effect on in vitro fertilization cycle stimulation characteristics and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrinopathy with unknown pathophysiology among women of reproductive age. Several studies have been conducted to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among PCOS patients. However, the results were contradictory. The present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of MetS in PCOS patients using the related published data. METHOD The present systematic review was perfumed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The search was done using MeSH keywords in databases of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, and Google scholar search engine as well as the reference list of the retrieved papers without time limit until October 2018. We used Cochran's Q test and I2 Index to evaluate the heterogeneity among the studies and the random effects model was used to combine the results. Data analysis was performed using Stata ver. 11.1. RESULTS Forty six studies including 8946 patients with PCOS were included in the final analysis. Total heterogeneity was high (I2: 91.43%, P < 0.001). The prevalence of MetS in PCOS patients was estimated to be 30% (95%CI: 27-33). Subgroup analysis based on MetS diagnostic criteria showed an estimated prevalence of 0.27% (95%CI: 0.18-0.37), 0.30% (95%CI: 0.27-0.34), 0.32 (95%CI: 0.25-0.39), 0.32 (95%CI: 0.27-0.37) and 0.24 (95%CI: 0.14-0.34) for IDF, NECP-ATPIII, AHA NHLBI, CDS, and unknown criteria, respectively. CONCLUSION Considering the prevalence of MetS in PCOS patients, diagnosis of MetS in PCOS patients is necessary to reduce the mortality and morbidity rates.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that is associated with an increased the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and hence increased cardiovascular diseases in women. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at examining the prevalence of MetS in Iranian women with PCOS. This was a systematic review and meta-analysis of English and Persian studies, using the following keywords: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Hyperandrogenism, Metabolic Syndrome,"MetSyn", X Syndrome, and Iran in several national and international databases (Scientific Information Database (SID), Magiran, Web of Science, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus from inception to February 2019. Heterogeneity among the studies was assessed using the Cochran's Q test. The random effects model was then used to estimate the overall prevalence of MetS. ALL the analyses were performed using STATA, version 12. Overall, 10 studies were included in the study. The overall prevalence of MetS among Iranian women with PCOS was 26.6% (95% CI: 16.60-31.70). In addition, the mean body mass index (BMI) was 27.47 (95% CI: 25.46-29.48) and the mean waist circumference was 87.94 (95% CI: 84.28-91.60). According the meta-regression results, there were no significant associations between the prevalence of MetS and sample size, year of publication, waist circumference, BMI, and age. One-fourth of Iranian women with PCOS have MetS. Given the overlap between anthropometric and metabolic abnormalities in PCOS and the features of MetS, accurate identification of patients with MetS is important to ensure early diagnosis and subsequent interventions to effectively manage the condition.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of a supervised aerobic exercise training intervention on health-related quality of life (HRQL), cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiometabolic profile, and affective response in overweight/obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS Twenty-seven overweight/obese inactive women with PCOS (body mass index, ≥ 25 kg·m; age 18 to 34 yr) were allocated into an exercise group (n = 14) and a control group (n = 13). Progressive aerobic exercise training was performed three times per week (~150 min·wk) over 16 wk. Cardiorespiratory fitness, HRQL, and cardiometabolic profile were evaluated before and after the intervention. Affective response (i.e., feeling of pleasure/displeasure) was evaluated during the exercise sessions. RESULTS The exercise group improved 21% ± 12% of cardiorespiratory fitness (P < 0.001) and HRQL in the following domains: physical functioning, general health, and mental health (P < 0.05). Moreover, the exercise group decreased body mass index, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol level (P < 0.05). The affective response varied from "good" to "fairly good" (i.e., positive affective response) in an exercise intensity-dependent manner during the exercise training sessions. CONCLUSIONS Progressive aerobic exercise training improved HRQL, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiometabolic profile of overweight/obese women with PCOS. Moreover, the participants reported the exercise training sessions as pleasant over the intervention. These results reinforce the importance of supervised exercise training as a therapeutic approach for overweight/obese women with PCOS.

Abstract
We aimed at analyzing serum TWEAK levels and monocyte/HDL ratio in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and their predictivity for metabolic syndrome (MS) in PCOS. We included 71 women with PCOS and 40 healthy controls without any cardiovascular risk factors in this cross-sectional study. Patient group was classified as MS positive (n = 34) and negative (n = 37). Study group had higher monocyte/HDL ratio and TWEAK levels (9.59 ± 2.82 vs 8.2 ± 2.46, p = .007 and 1085.54 ± 780.95 vs 694.88 ± 369.67 ng/ml, p = .009). Monocyte/HDL ratio and TWEAK levels were higher in MS positive group (10.47 ± 2.81 vs 8.77 ± 2.61, p = .01 and 1417.59 ± 921.52 vs 780.41 ± 455.67, p = .009). In multivariate regression analysis, monocyte/HDL ratio (>9.9, OR 3.42, 95%CI 1.41-5.78, p = .008) and TWEAK (>846.5 ng/ml, OR 5.49, 95%CI 3.14-7.59, p = .002) were found to be independent predictors of MS in study group. Discriminative value of monocyte/HDL ratio for MS in study group was evaluated by receiver operating curve. Area under curve for monocyte/HDL ratio was 0.669 with a sensitivity of 70.3% and specifity of 67.7%, cutoff value was >9.9. Receiver operating curve for TWEAK at >846.5 pg/ml threshold to diagnose MS in study group was performed and area under the curve was 0.769 with a sensitivity of 73% and specifity of 72%. TWEAK and monocyte/HDL ratio may be promising in predicting MS at early stages in PCOS to prevent future cardiovascular diseases by modifying life-style or giving pharmacotheraphy.

Abstract
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine and metabolic disorder, and it's diagnosis is difficult. The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolic profiles of PCOS patients by analyzing urine samples and identify useful biomarkers for diagnosis of PCOS. Methods: This study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hunan Province from December 2014 to July 2016. In this study, the urine samples of 21 women with PCOS and 16 healthy controls were assessed through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to investigate the urine metabolite characteristics of PCOS and identify useful biomarkers for the diagnosis of this disorder. The Student's t-test and rank sum test were applied to validate the statistical significance of the between the two groups. Results: In total, 35 urine metabolites were found to be significantly different between the PCOS patients and the controls. In particular, a significant increase in the levels of lactose (10.01 [0,13.99] mmol/mol creatinine vs. 2.35 [0.16, 3.26] mmol/mol creatinine, P = 0.042), stearic acid (2.35 [1.47, 3.14] mmol/mol creatinine vs. 0.05 [0, 0.14] mmol/mol creatinine, P < 0.001), and palmitic acid (2.13 [1.07, 2.79] mmol/mol creatinine vs. 0 [0, 0] mmol/mol creatinine, P < 0.001) and a decrease in the levels of succinic acid (0 [0, 0] mmol/mol creatinine vs. 38.94 [4.16, 51.30] mmol/mol creatinine, P < 0.001) were found in the PCOS patients compared with the controls. It was possible to cluster the PCOS patients and the healthy controls into two distinct regions based on a principal component analysis model. Of the differentially expressed metabolites, four compounds, including stearic acid, palmitic acid, benzoylglycine, and threonine, were selected as potential biomarkers. Conclusions: This study offers new insight into the pathogenesis of PCOS, and the discriminating urine metabolites may provide a prospect for the diagnosis of PCOS.

Abstract
Introduction: The objectives of this study were to provide an estimate of the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS ) and its components among women with PCOS; and calculate the odds ratio (OR) for MetS (using different definitions of MetS) in women with PCOS, compared to healthy controls.
Methods: All of the relevant databases were used to search for appropriate articles that were published during the period 2003-2016. We included observational studies (cross-sectional, comparative cross-sectional) among women who met the inclusion criteria. The random-effect models were used to pool the prevalence of MetS and its components among PCOS women. This model was also applied to the pooled OR assessing the association between MetS and PCOS.
Results: The pooled prevalence of MetS among PCOS women was found to be 26.30% (95% CI: 23.68–28.93), but varied from 7.10% (95% CI: 1.64-12.56) to 37.50% (95% CI: 28.84-46.16), depending upon the diagnostic criteria used. Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) - 61.87% (95% CI: 53.31–70.43) and high waist circumference (WC)- 52.23% (95% CI: 43.84–60.61) were the most common components of MetS in PCOS women. Compared to healthy controls, the overall pooled (OR) of MetS in PCOS patients was 2.09 (95% CI: 1.67-2.60), but this ranged from 0.31 (95% CI: 0.13-0.74) to 4.69 (95% CI: 2.09-10.52), depending upon the diagnostic criteria used.
Conclusion: Women with PCOS had a much higher prevalence of MetS than was found among the healthy controls. Furthermore, as low HDL and high WC were the most common components of MetS in PCOS women, these two components specifically need to be addressed in prevention strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterised by infrequent or absent ovulation, and high levels of androgens and insulin (hyperinsulinaemia). Hyperinsulinaemia occurs secondary to insulin resistance and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. Insulin-sensitising agents such as metformin may be effective in treating PCOS-related anovulation. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of insulin-sensitising drugs in improving reproductive and metabolic outcomes for women with PCOS undergoing ovulation induction. SEARCH METHODS We searched the following databases from inception to January 2017: Cochrane Gynaecology and Fertility Group Specialised Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and CINAHL. We searched registers of ongoing trials and reference lists from relevant studies. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials of insulin-sensitising drugs compared with placebo, no treatment, or an ovulation-induction agent for women with oligo and anovulatory PCOS. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed studies for eligibility and bias. Primary outcomes were live birth rate and gastrointestinal adverse effects. Secondary outcomes included other pregnancy outcomes, menstrual frequency and metabolic effects. We combined data to calculate pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We assessed statistical heterogeneity using the I2 statistic and reported quality of the evidence for primary outcomes using GRADE methodology. MAIN RESULTS We assessed the interventions metformin, clomiphene citrate, metformin plus clomiphene citrate, D-chiro-inositol, rosiglitazone and pioglitazone. We compared these with each other, placebo or no treatment. We included 48 studies (4451 women), 42 of which investigated metformin (4024 women). Evidence quality ranged from very low to moderate. Limitations were risk of bias (poor reporting of methodology and incomplete outcome data), imprecision and inconsistency. Metformin versus placebo or no treatmentThe evidence suggests that metformin may improve live birth rates compared with placebo (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.00 to 2.51, 4 studies, 435 women, I2 = 0%, low-quality evidence). The metformin group experienced more gastrointestinal side effects (OR 4.76, 95% CI 3.06 to 7.41, 7 studies, 670 women, I2 = 61%, moderate-quality evidence) but had higher rates of clinical pregnancy (OR 1.93, 95% CI 1.42 to 2.64, 9 studies, 1027 women, I2 = 43%, moderate-quality evidence), ovulation (OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.81 to 3.59, 14 studies, 701 women, I2 = 58%, moderate-quality evidence) and menstrual frequency (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.14 to 2.61, 7 studies, 427 women, I2 = 54%, low-quality evidence). There was no clear evidence of a difference in miscarriage rates (OR 1.08, 95% CI 0.50 to 2.35, 4 studies, 748 women, I2 = 0%, low-quality evidence). Metformin plus clomiphene citrate versus clomiphene citrate alone There was no conclusive evidence of a difference between the groups in live birth rates (OR 1.21, 95% CI 0.92 to 1.59, 9 studies, 1079 women, I2 = 20%, low-quality evidence), but gastrointestinal side effects were more common with combined therapy (OR 3.97, 95% CI 2.59 to 6.08, 3 studies, 591 women, I2 = 47%, moderate-quality evidence). However, the combined therapy group had higher rates of clinical pregnancy (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.27 to 1.99, 16 studies, 1529 women, I2 = 33%, moderate-quality evidence) and ovulation (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.28 to 1.92, 21 studies, 1624 women, I2 = 64%, moderate-quality evidence). There was a statistically significant difference in miscarriage rate per woman, with higher rates in the combined therapy group (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.03 to 2.46, 9 studies, 1096 women, I2 = 0%, low-quality evidence) but this is of uncertain clinical significance due to low-quality evidence, and no clear difference between groups when we analysed miscarriage per pregnancy (OR 1.30, 95% CI 0.80 to 2.12, 8 studies; 400 pregnancies, I2 = 0%, low-quality evidence). Metformin versus clomiphene citrateWhen all studies were combined, findings for live birth were inconclusive and inconsistent (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.49 to 1.01, 5 studies, 741 women, I2 = 86%, very low-quality evidence). In subgroup analysis by obesity status, obese women had a lower birth rate in the metformin group (OR 0.30, 95% CI 0.17 to 0.52, 2 studies, 500 women, I2 = 0%, very low-quality evidence), while data from the non-obese group showed a possible benefit from metformin, with high heterogeneity (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.00 to 2.94, 3 studies, 241 women, I2 = 78%, very low-quality evidence). Similarly, among obese women taking metformin there were lower rates of clinical pregnancy (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.55, 2 studies, 500 women, I2 = 0%, very low-quality evidence) and ovulation (OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.20 to 0.43 2 studies, 500 women, I2 = 0%, low-quality evidence) while among non-obese women, the metformin group had more pregnancies (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.05 to 2.33, 5 studies, 490 women, I2 = 41%, very low-quality evidence) and no clear difference in ovulation rates (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.51 to 1.28, 4 studies, 312 women, low-quality evidence, I2=0%). There was no clear evidence of a difference in miscarriage rates (overall: OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.50 to 1.67, 5 studies, 741 women, I2 = 52%, very low-quality evidence). D-chiro-inositol (2 studies), rosiglitazone (1 study) or pioglitazone (1 study) versus placebo or no treatmentWe were unable to draw conclusions regarding other insulin-sensitising drugs as no studies reported primary outcomes. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Our updated review suggests that metformin alone may be beneficial over placebo for live birth, although the evidence quality was low. When metformin was compared with clomiphene citrate, data for live birth were inconclusive, and our findings were limited by lack of evidence. Results differed by body mass index (BMI), emphasising the importance of stratifying results by BMI. An improvement in clinical pregnancy and ovulation suggests that clomiphene citrate remains preferable to metformin for ovulation induction in obese women with PCOS.An improved clinical pregnancy and ovulation rate with metformin and clomiphene citrate versus clomiphene citrate alone suggests that combined therapy may be useful although we do not know whether this translates into increased live births. Women taking metformin alone or with combined therapy should be advised that there is no evidence of increased miscarriages, but gastrointestinal side effects are more likely.

Racial and ethnic differences in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components of metabolic syndrome in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a regional cross-sectional study. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2017; 217:189.e1-189.e8.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome is a heterogeneous disorder and its presentation varies with race and ethnicity. Reproductive-age women with polycystic ovary syndrome are at increased risk of metabolic syndrome; however, it is not clear if prevalence of metabolic syndrome and clustering of its components differs based on race and ethnicity. Moreover, the majority of these women do not undergo routine screening for metabolic syndrome. OBJECTIVE We sought to compare the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and clustering of its components in women with polycystic ovary syndrome in the United States with women in India, Brazil, Finland, and Norway. STUDY DESIGN This is a cross-sectional study performed in 1089 women with polycystic ovary syndrome from 1999 through 2016 in 5 outpatient clinics in the United States, India, Brazil, Finland, and Norway. Polycystic ovary syndrome was defined by the Rotterdam criteria. Main outcome measures were: metabolic syndrome prevalence, blood pressure, body mass index, fasting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting triglycerides, and fasting glucose. Data from all sites were reevaluated for appropriate application of diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome, identification of polycystic ovary syndrome phenotype, and complete metabolic workup. The US White women with polycystic ovary syndrome were used as the referent group. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations between race and metabolic syndrome prevalence and its components and to adjust for potential confounders, including age and body mass index. RESULTS The median age of the entire cohort was 28 years. Women from India had the highest mean Ferriman-Gallwey score for clinical hyperandrogenism (15.6 ± 6.5, P < .001). The age-adjusted odds ratio for metabolic syndrome was highest in US Black women at 4.52 (95% confidence interval, 2.46-8.35) compared with US White women. When adjusted for age and body mass index, the prevalence was similar in the 2 groups. Significantly more Black women met body mass index and blood pressure criteria (P < .001), and fewer met fasting triglycerides criteria (P < .05). The age- and body mass index-adjusted prevalence of metabolic syndrome was highest in Indian women (odds ratio, 6.53; 95% confidence interval, 3.47-12.30) with abnormalities in glucose and fasting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol criterion and in Norwegian women (odds ratio, 2.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.17-3.98) with abnormalities in blood pressure, glucose, and fasting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol criterion. The Brazilian and Finnish cohorts had similar prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components compared to US White women. CONCLUSION Despite a unifying diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome, there are significant differences in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and clustering of its components based on race and ethnicity, which may reflect contributions from both racial and environmental factors. Our findings indicate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome components varies in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, such that compared to White women from the United States, Black US women had the highest prevalence, whereas women from India and Norway had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome independent of obesity. The differences in clustering of components of metabolic syndrome based on ethnicity highlight the need to routinely perform complete metabolic screening to identify specific targets for cardiovascular risk reduction strategies in these reproductive-age women.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most commonly occurring metabolic and endocrinological disorders affecting women of reproductive age. Metabolomics is an emerging field that holds promise in understanding disease pathophysiology. Recently, a few metabolomics based studies have been attempted in PCOS patients; however, none of them have included patients from the Indian population. The main objective of this study was to investigate the serum metabolomic profile of Indian women with PCOS and compare them with controls. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) was used to first identify the differentially expressed metabolites among women with PCOS from the Eastern region of India during the discovery phase and further validated in a separate cohort of PCOS and control subjects. Multivariate analysis of the binned spectra indicated 16 dysregulated bins in the sera of these women with PCOS. Out of these 16 bins, 13 identified bins corresponded to 12 metabolites including 8 amino acids and 4 energy metabolites. Amongst the amino acids, alanine, valine, leucine and threonine and amongst the energy metabolites, lactate and acetate were observed to be significantly up-regulated in women with PCOS when compared with controls. The remaining 4 amino acids, l-glutamine, proline, glutamate and histidine were down-regulated along with 2 energy metabolites: glucose and 3-hydroxybutyric acid. Our findings showed dysregulations in the expression of different metabolites in the serum of women with PCOS suggesting the involvement of multiple pathways including amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate/lipid metabolism, purine and pyrimidine metabolism and protein synthesis.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 5–20% of the reproductive age women globally. PCOS is diagnosed by the presence of hyperandrogenism, oligo-anovulation, and polycystic morphology of at least one ovary. Insulin resistance (IR), hyperinsulinemia and associated metabolic abnormalities including metabolic syndrome play a significant role in the development of PCOS. The chances of developing MS in PCOS women was shown to increase by almost 14-fold in patients with increasing body mass index. Even in the absence of overt obesity, a preferential deposition of intra-abdominal fat is noted in PCOS women and this intra-abdominal fat leads to impaired insulin action and functional IR and hyperandrogenism. Functional ovarian hyperandrogenism of ovaries was suggested to be a consequence of IR, which activates androgen synthesizing enzyme, cytochrome p450-c17α-hydroxylase, in ovarian theca cells and causes elevated oxidative stress accompanied by lower antioxidant status in ovaries, which contribute to PCOS pathogenesis. The elevated levels of luteinizing hormone that accompany the early stages of hyperandrogenemia, accelerate ovarian functional deterioration, which is further aggravated by hyperinsulinemia, in PCOS women. The risk of developing gestational diabetes in PCOS women is approximately three times greater, as compared to non-PCOS women, due to IR and hyperinsulinemia. Typical insulin-sensitizing drugs such as metformin, have been used to curtail IR and hyperinsulinemia in pregnant PCOS women, with varying results indicating the complexity of the disease and the need for better controlled studies and additional efforts for PCOS-specific drug discovery.

Abstract
Objective To analyze the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in pubertal stages of female students. Methods Cross-sectional study of 449 school children between eight and 18 years, stratified by pubertal stage, body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (BF %). The MS was classified according to the International Diabetes Federation. The analysis by frequency distribution, confidence intervals (95 %), Chi-square and odds ratio for associations was performed. Results The prevalence of MS was 3.3 % (CI:2 %-5 %) and 2.5 % (CI: 0.1 - 5 %) in pubertal and 7.9% (CI:3.2 % - 12.6 %) in the post-pubescent, with a significant association of this group with MS (X² = 5.2 [p <0.02]). The odds ratio shows that post-pubescent girls (3.3 [CI: 1.2 to 5]) and obese girls (2.1 [CI: 2 - 2.2]) are more likely to have MS, indicating significant linear association between BMI and the outcome (X²=29.4 [p<0.001]). Pubescent children under 10 years of age with MS had higher %G. The prevalent components were altered waist circumference (27.2 % [CI23 %-31 %]) and low HDL cholesterol (39.6 % [CI 35 % - 44 %]), as well as prevalence of systemic hypertension in post-pubertal girls. Conclusions MS begins in the pubertal stage, with prevalence in the post-pubertal stage. Excess fat is a trigger in children under 10 years of age. Prevention strategies are needed for the population of children and adolescents.

The management of anovulatory infertility in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: an analysis of the evidence to support the development of global WHO guidance. Hum Reprod Update 2016; 22:687-708.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Here we describe the consensus guideline methodology, summarise the evidence-based recommendations we provided to the World Health Organisation (WHO) for their consideration in the development of global guidance and present a narrative review on the management of anovulatory infertility in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE The aim of this paper was to present an evidence base for the management of anovulatory PCOS. SEARCH METHODS The evidence to support providing recommendations involved a collaborative process for: (i) identification of priority questions and critical outcomes, (ii) retrieval of up-to-date evidence and exiting guidelines, (iii) assessment and synthesis of the evidence and (iv) the formulation of draft recommendations to be used for reaching consensus with a wide range of global stakeholders. For each draft recommendation, the methodologist evaluated the quality of the supporting evidence that was then graded as very low, low, moderate or high for consideration during consensus. OUTCOMES Evidence was synthesized and we made recommendations across the definition of PCOS including hyperandrogenism, menstrual cycle regulation and ovarian assessment. Metabolic features and the impact of ethnicity were covered. Management includes lifestyle changes, bariatric surgery, pharmacotherapy (including clomiphene citrate (CC), aromatase inhibitors, metformin and gonadotropins), as well as laparoscopic surgery. In-vitro fertilization (IVF) was considered as were the risks of ovulation induction and of pregnancy in PCOS. Approximately 80% of women who suffer from anovulatory infertility have PCOS. Lifestyle intervention is recommended first in women who are obese largely on the basis of general health benefits. Bariatric surgery can be considered where the body mass index (BMI) is ≥35 kg/m2 and lifestyle therapy has failed. Carefully conducted and monitored pharmacological ovulation induction can achieve good cumulative pregnancy rates and multiple pregnancy rates can be minimized with adherence to recommended protocols. CC should be first-line pharmacotherapy for ovulation induction and letrozole can also be used as first-line therapy. Metformin alone has limited benefits in improving live birth rates. Gonadotropins and laparoscopic surgery can be used as second-line treatment. There is no clear evidence for efficacy of acupuncture or herbal mixtures in women with PCOS. For women with PCOS who fail lifestyle and ovulation induction therapy or have additional infertility factors, IVF can be used with the safer gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol. If a GnRH-agonist protocol is used, metformin as an adjunct may reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Patients should be informed of the potential side effects of ovulation induction agents and of IVF on the foetus, and of the risks of multiple pregnancy. Increased risks for the mother during pregnancy and for the child, including the exacerbating impact of obesity on adverse outcomes, should also be discussed. WIDER IMPLICATIONS This guidance generation and evidence-synthesis analysis has been conducted in a manner to be considered for global applicability for the safe administration of ovulation induction for anovulatory women with PCOS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in infertile Iranian women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using the ATPIII criteria. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 624 women with PCOS were enrolled at a tertiary referral center in Tehran, Iran, between April, 2012 and March, 2013. Diagnosis of MS was according to ATPIII criteria. Also, we divided PCOS patients into following two main groups: (i) with MS (n = 123) and (ii) without MS (n = 501), and then compared variables between two groups. RESULTS The mean age, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference were 28.6 ± 4.3 years, 26.7 ± 3.7 kg/m2 and 85.2 ± 8.7 cm, respectively. The prevalence of MS was 19.7%. Our findings showed that age, BMI, waist circumference and all metabolic parameters were higher in PCOS women with MS than related values in those without MS. The most and least prevalent forms of MS were low level of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and hypertension, respectively. CONCLUSION It seems the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in our country isn't as high as western countries. The prevalence rate of MS increased with age and BMI. One of the major cardiovascular risk factors, low level of HDL-C, is the most prevalent metabolic abnormality in our participants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been studied in different populations, but their results were so controversial regarding Iranian women. These controversial data indicated the need for more investigation of MetS characteristics in PCOS patients in our population. So this study aimed to evaluate the clinical and laboratory characteristics and metabolic features of patients with PCOS in Rasht. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective cross sectional study was conducted on 215 PCOS women who lived in Rasht, north of Iran, from March 2010 to July 2012. The participants were then divided into two groups of women with MetS (n=62) and women without MetS (n=153). The diagnosis of PCOS and MetS were based on the Rotterdam 2003 criteria and the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria, respectively. Demographic characteristics, fertility characteristics, family history and laboratory findings were assessed. RESULTS The prevalence of MetS in women with PCOS was 28.8%. In PCOS women of both groups, the waist circumference (WC) exceeded 88cm in 72.6%, hypertension [systolic blood pressure (SBP) and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥130/85mm Hg] was prevalent in 9.3%, fasting blood sugar (FBS) level was ≥110 mg/dl in 6%, triglycerides (Tg) level were ≥150 mg/dl in 47%, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level was <50 mg/dl in 86%. The values of WC, SBP, DBP, body mass index (BMI), ovarian size, Tg, cholesterol, FBS, 2-hour blood sugar, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were significantly greater in PCOS women with MetS than women without MetS. Also HDL and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels in women with MetS were significantly lower than women without MetS. CONCLUSION Prevalence of MetS in PCOS women was 28.8%, indicating that this value is higher than other studies conducted on PCOS women in Iran and other studies conducted on general population in Iran. PCOS women are considered as a high-risk population for MetS. The special strategies are required to prevent MetS and its associated complications in PCOS women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiac autonomic dysfunction may develop in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT) are used in assessing cardiac autonomic functions. The goal of this study was to compare the cardiac autonomic functions in patients with PCOS and healthy controls. To our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating cardiac autonomic functions in patients with PCOS with respect to both HRV and HRT. METHODS Twenty-three patients with PCOS (mean age 22.8±3.9 years) and 25 healthy female volunteers who were matched for age and body mass index (BMI) (mean age 23.5±6.2 years) were enrolled in this as case-control study. Twenty-four hour ambulatory electrocardiogram recordings of all participants were taken using Pathfinder software. The time domain parameters of HRV and HRT, including turbulence onset (TO) and turbulence slope, were calculated. Diagnosis of PCOS was made with physical and laboratory findings of hirsutism or biochemical hyperandrogenism and chronic anovulation. Diabetes mellitus, other hormon disorders or hormon therapy, pregnancy, atrial fibrilation, obesite, chronic diseases, disorders of the autonomic nervous system, a history of drug use affecting the autonomic nervous system were excluded. RESULTS There were no significant differences in HRV and HRT parameters between the two groups. Cardiovascular risk factors, such as BMI, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and lipid parameters, were also similar. Triangular index measure of HRV was negatively correlated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (r=-0.47, p<0.05), while age and BMI were significantly correlated with TO (r=0.31 and 0.47, respectively; p<0.05 for all). CONCLUSION Cardiac autonomic functions were not found to be altered in patients with PCOS in comparison with healthy controls. These results may be explained with the absence of concomitant cardiovascular risk factors with the patients being in the early stage of the disease.

Abstract
Objective. To compare macular thickness (MT) and retinal nerve fiber layers (RNFL) between women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and healthy women. Materials and Methods. The study included 45 women with PCOS and 47 ovulatory women undergoing clinical-gynecological and ophthalmic evaluations, including measurement of MT, RNFL, and optic disc parameters using optical coherence tomography. Results. The superior RNFL around the optic nerve was significantly thicker in PCOS than in healthy volunteers (P = 0.036). After stratification according to insulin resistance, the temporal inner macula (TIM), the inferior inner macula (IIM), the nasal inner macula (NIM), and the nasal outer macula (NOM) were significantly thicker in PCOS group than in control group (P < 0.05). Both the presence of obesity associated with insulin resistance (P = 0.037) and glucose intolerance (P = 0.001) were associated with significant increase in the PC1 mean score, relative to MT. A significant increase in the PC2 mean score occurred when considering the presence of metabolic syndrome (P < 0.0001). There was a significant interaction between obesity and inflammation in a decreasing mean PC2 score relative to macular RNFL thickness (P = 0.034). Conclusion. Decreased macular RNFL thickness and increased total MT are associated with metabolic abnormalities, while increased RNFL thickness around the optic nerve is associated with hormonal changes inherent in PCOS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is increasingly becoming a major worldwide clinical and public health issue. Thus it is extremely important to study the history of MS and search for the most likely component contributing to start the cascade of confusions of MS. METHODS A longitudinal cohort was involved which included the data of 7510 individuals who had at least two routine health check-ups in a six-year follow-up. Based on the data, a Markov model with each chain containing seven states (no component state, four isolated states, 2-component state, and MS state) was built. Annual transition probability was the mean of five probabilities for the transition between the given states between each pair of consecutive years. RESULTS The transition probabilities from the no component state to MS were higher in men than that in women in four age groups. In the young people (men <60 years and women <50 years), the probabilities to the overweight or obesity state and dyslipidemia state were the first two biggest probabilities in transition from no component to the rest six states. However, in the elderly population, the probabilities to hypertension state and 2-component state increased, even surpassed the above two states. The individuals initiating with 2-component states and the isolated hyperglycemia state were more likely to develop MS than the others. CONCLUSIONS The Markov model was able to give a better description of the evolutionary history of MS, and to predict the future course based on past evidence. The occurrence of the MS process mostly began with overweight or obesity and dyslipidemia in young people. In the elderly population, many individuals initiating with hypertension or 2 components besides the above two states. Individuals with the isolated hyperglycemia had greater chances to develop MS than other isolated MS' components.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) both are known to be associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome (MS). The aim of the study was to determine the presence of NAFLD and associated factors of hepatic steatosis in women with PCOS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional hospital based study of 54 women with PCOS and 55 healthy controls who were age and weight matched were included. Anthropometric parameters, biochemical and hormonal investigations were done in all the patients. Insulin resistance was calculated by Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA). Abdominal ultrasonography and biochemical tests were used to determine the presence of hepatic steatosis after excluding other causes liver disease. RESULTS: Women with PCOS had a higher prevalence of hepatic steatosis (67% vs 25%, P = 0.001) MS (35% vs. 7%, P < 0.01) and elevated transaminases (31% vs. 7%, P = 0.03) than controls. All patients with PCOS and controls with MS had presence of hepatic steatosis. Age, BMI, waist-hip ratio, HOMA-IR, HDL and PCOS diagnosis were the factors associated with presence of hepatic steatosis. CONCLUSION: NAFLD is commonly present in women with PCOS in combination with other metabolic derangements. Evaluation for liver disease should be considered at an earlier age in women with PCOS, particularly those who have an evidence of MS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). SETTING: Infertility clinic in a tertiary care hospital. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective cross-sectional study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All the women attending the infertility clinic categorized as polycystic ovary syndrome according to Rotterdam criteria (2003) during the study period were included in the study. The women with PCOS underwent screening for metabolic syndrome as defined by the modified American Heart Association/National Heart Lung Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI) modified ATP 111 (2005) definition. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied and significant predictors identified for the prediction of metabolic syndrome. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to the modified AHA/NHLBI ATP III (2005) criteria was 37.5%. A total of 5.8 % cases were detected to have diabetes mellitus, 8.3% had impaired fasting glucose, and 11.7 % had an impaired glucose test. Dyslipidemia was present in 93.3% cases of PCOS. Among all the risk factors, age and waist hip ratio ≥0.85 were strongly associated with the presence of metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSION: Infertile women with PCOS, particularly those with age ≥25 years or with central obesity (a waist hip ratio of ≥0.85), are at a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome and should be offered screening tests.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age that is associated with significant adverse short- and long-term health consequences. Multiple metabolic aberrations, such as insulin resistance (IR) and hyperinsulinaemia, high incidence of impaired glucose tolerance, visceral obesity, inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, hypertension and dyslipidemia are associated with the syndrome. Assessing the metabolic aberrations and their long term health impact in women with PCOS is challenging and becomes more important as therapeutic interventions currently available for the management of PCOS are not fully able to deal with all these consequences. Current therapeutic management of PCOS has incorporated new treatments resulting from the better understanding of the pathophysiology of the syndrome. The aim of this review is to summarize the effect of old, new and emerging therapies used in the management of PCOS, on the metabolic aberrations of PCOS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central obesity is highly prevalent in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and is strongly associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). OBJECTIVES To define cut-off points of waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and conicity index (C-Index) to discriminate metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Brazilian women with PCOS. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, anthropometric, biochemical and clinical parameters were measured in 113 Brazilian PCOS women (27.2 ± 4.5 years). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to find out the cut-off points of anthropometric indices to predict MetS according with National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP-III) criteria. RESULTS Considering the ROC curve analysis the WC and WHtR had a similar performance in predicting MetS and these parameters were better than WHR and C-Index. The optimal cut-off values of the anthropometric indices for discriminate MetS were: WC = 95 cm; WHtR = 0.59; WHR = 0.88; and C-Index = 1.25. By using these cut-off points the sensitivity and specificity rates of WC and WHtR were higher than those observed for WHR and C-Index. CONCLUSION Our results indicated that WC and WHtR are more accurate than WHR and C-Index to predict MetS in Brazilian PCOS women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and insulin resistance (IR) in a large population-based study in Iran. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Anthropometric measurements, biochemical parameters and IR were compared between 136 polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) subjects and 423 healthy controls recruited from among 1126 reproductive aged women (18-45 year). PCOS and MetS were diagnosed using the Rotterdam criteria and Joint Interim Statement, respectively. IR was defined using the homeostatic model assessment-IR). RESULTS Among the PCOS subjects, the mean ± SD age, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference were 31 ± 7·7 years, 26·4 ± 5·8 kg/m(2) and 84 ± 13·3 cm, respectively; corresponding values among healthy controls were 36 ± 7·5 years, 26·4 ± 5·0 kg/m(2) and 85 ± 11·9 cm, respectively. Age and BMI adjusted prevalences of MetS in PCOS subjects and controls were 18·5% (CI 95%, 15·3-21·7%) and 18·3% (CI 95%, 15·1-21·5%), respectively [P = not significant (NS)]. Age and BMI adjusted prevalences of IR in PCOS and healthy controls were 27·2% (CI 95%, 23·5-30·9%) and 24·2% (CI 95%, 20·6-27·8%), respectively (P < 0·01). CONCLUSIONS Metabolic syndrome was no more frequent in a representative sample of PCOS Iranian population than in healthy controls. However, the prevalence of IR in PCOS appears to be higher than in controls. It seems that the association between PCOS and MetS needs more consideration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the cardiovascular risk of non-obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by the LAP index (lipid accumulation product). SUBJECTS AND METHODS 283 patients (18-34 years) assigned at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal-RN, were divided into four groups: 1) lean PCOS (n = 35); 2) healthy lean (n = 162); 3) overweight PCOS (n = 28); 4) healthy overweight (n = 58). RESULTS Patients with PCOS showed higher values of the LAP index than healthy controls: lean (22.26 vs. 15.87 cm.mmol/L; p = 0.007); overweight (40.83 vs. 26.32 cm.mmol/L; p = 0.001). The percentage of women above the 75th percentile of the LAP index was also higher in the subgroups with PCOS: lean (17.1 vs. 6.8%; p = 0.04); overweight (37.5 vs. 13.8%; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In our sample, patients with PCOS showed higher cardiovascular risk assessed by the LAP index in relation to healthy women, even in the absence of obesity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the modulation of heart rate in a group of volunteers with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to that of a group of healthy ovulatory women on the basis of R-R interval variability and analyze the relationships between heart rate variability (HRV) and other cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, HRV and anthropometric, biochemical and hormonal parameters were measured in 23 women with PCOS and 23 age-matched controls. Mean outcomes measures: HRV indexes in the time (SDNN and rMSSD) and frequency domain (low frequency-LF and high frequency-HF). Differences between groups and correlation analysis were performed. RESULTS Intergroup analysis showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between groups, with lower SDNN, rMSSD, LF and HF indexes in PCOS women when compared to the control group. There was significant negative correlation between BMI and SDNN, LF and HF, indicating a decrease in the autonomic modulation of heart rate with increasing weight. A negative correlation was also found between the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level and the rMSSD index. CONCLUSION Our results show that PCOS is associated with alterations in the autonomic modulation of heart rate, possibly due to the influence of weight gain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate the relevance of polymorphism in angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism to the pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thirty patients with PCOS by Rotterdam consensus criteria and 33 control subjects were prospectively investigated. ACE gene amplification of DNA was performed by polymerase chain reaction. Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) was applied. RESULTS Compared to controls, ACE gene DD genotype and D allele were observed more frequently in PCOS (63% vs. 46% for DD genotype and 75% vs. 67% for D allele) (p > 0.05). Body mass index, fasting glucose and insulin levels, HOMA-IR index and total testosterone levels were higher in PCOS group (p < 0.05). The frequencies of D and I alleles were 45 (75%) and 15 (25%) for PCOS group and 44 (67%) and 22 (33%) for control group (p > 0.05). No significant differences were observed in the genotype and allele distributions between cases and control groups. HOMA-IR index was significantly higher in patients with PCOS with DD genotype than those with II genotype (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The ACE gene polymorphism was not associated with PCOS. However, the presence of D allele was associated with higher rate of insulin resistance in patients with PCOS.

Abstract
The metabolic syndrome (MS) and the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) appear to be interrelated, although they are distinct entities. Women with PCOS appear to be commonly affected by MS, while women with MS may display reproductive or endocrine features of PCOS. These clinical observations appear to be only partly attributable to the association of both syndromes with obesity and imply a reciprocal pathophysiologic relationship between PCOS and MS with potentially significant clinical sequelae. Adult women with MS are at a greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease; women with PCOS also appear to carry such an increased risk in their postmenopausal life. Conversely, women with MS may experience reproductive disturbances, reminiscent of PCOS, more commonly than their counterparts from the general population. This review presented the current epidemiology of MS in adults and adolescents with PCOS, as well as the limited amount of data on the prevalence of features of PCOS among women with MS or MS features. We also discuss the potential pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the relationship between these interweaving, but distinct, syndromes.
