Popis: BackgroundThe aim of the study was to evaluate high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and fibrinogen in non-obese normoinsulinemic adolescent girls with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and their relationship with anthropometric and lipid parameters.MethodsThe study comprised a total of 26 adolescent girls newly diagnosed with PCOS and 12 healthy controls with regular ovulatory menstrual cycles. The concentration of hs-CRP, fibrinogen, anthropometric measurements, and biochemical and hormonal testing were assessed.ResultsPCOS adolescent girls had significantly higher levels of hs-CRP and fibrinogen compared to healthy controls. In univariate regression analysis, statistically significant associations of hs-CRP and fibrinogen levels of PCOS patients have been shown with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio, while hs-CRP levels were also associated with cholesterol and LDL. In the multivariate regression model, we found that hs-CRP levels were predicted by BMI (β=0.541, pConclusionsWe have shown an association of proinflammatory indices hs-CRP and fibrinogen with anthropometric and lipid parameters of adolescent women with PCOS. The inflammatory markers might be useful in monitoring normal-weight adolescent women with PCOS in an effort to timely prevent unfavorable changes in body mass and lipid profile.
