Tóm tắt

The aim of the study was to investigate MCP-1 and fetuin A levels in women with PCOS and/or obesity before and after metformin treatment. In the study consisted of 59 patients. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical tests, including MCP-1 and fetuin A measurement, were performed. For patients that were diagnosed with insulin resistance and started metformin treatment all the laboratory tests and anthropometric measurements were repeated after 6 months. MCP-1 and fetuin A levels did not differ between patients with obesity with and without PCOS, between patients with PCOS with and without obesity, insulin resistance, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia or menstrual disturbances. MCP-1 levels were significantly higher in patients with hyperandrogenemia than in patients without (456.3±141.1pmol/L vs. 372.5±108.5 pmol/L), while fetuin A levels were significantly higher in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) than in patients without MetS (278.5±41.1 mcg/ml vs. 240.0±42.0 mcg/ml). There was no significant change in MCP-1 and fetuin A levels after of metformin treatment. MCP- 1 levels are higher in patients with hyperandrogenemia and fetiun A levels are higher in patients with metabolic syndrome. MCP-1 and fetuin A levels do not change significantly after metformin treatment.
