Online published on 24 December, 2019. Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrine disorder in women with heterogeneous clinical and biochemical features. The diverse and complex female endocrine disorder PCOS affects 1 in 15 women worldwide. PCOS produces symptoms in approximately 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age 12– 45 years old. Abnormal menstrual cycle might be the most common symptom. The present study is designed to determine the levels of trace element concentrations (Zn, pb, Ni, and Fe) in PCO patients by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Some vitamins and mineral can play role in improvement of PCOS. All the measurements were occurred in the plasma ofthe patients. All the 120 samples (70 patients and 50 control) were collected at the educational hospital (infertility unit). The samples were divided based on age and body mass index. Results: statistical analysis shows that the concentration of Copper, Nickel, lead, and Zinc in patients were higher than incontrol group. Top Keywords Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Zinc, Lead. Nickel, Iron, Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Top |
