Among women with PCOS, AMH inversely related to BMI (p<0.001), and also to WC (p<0.001), fasting insulin (p<0.01), HOMA-IR (p<0.01), triglycerides (p=0.04) and CRP (p<0.001) and directly related to higher total (p=0.02), LDL (p<0.01), and HDL cholesterol (p<0.01).
PCOS women with a high-risk score (q1 + q2 + q3 vs q4) presented with a worse metabolic profile characterized by a higher 2-hour glucose (P = 0.01), insulin (P = 0.0003), triglycerides (P = 0.0005), C-reactive protein (P < 0.0001) and low HDL-cholesterol (P = 0.02) as compared to those with lower risk score for PCOS.
The effects of curcumin supplementation on glycemic status, lipid profile and hs-CRP levels in overweight/obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Prior studies have found that subclinical CVD markers such as coronary artery calcium scores, C-reactive protein, carotid intima-media thickness, and endothelial dysfunction are more likely to be increased in women with PCOS.
Within the PCOS group, 47 patients developed asthma with a significant increase in BMI (P=0.003), CRP and IgE levels (P<0.001) compared to non-asthmatic PCOS.
Pro-/synbiotic supplementation significantly reduced fasting blood sugar (-2.52 mg/dl, 95% confidence interval (CI): -4.10 to -0.95), insulin (-2.27 µIU/mL, 95% CI: -3.40 to -1.14), homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance index (-0.69, 95% CI: -0.98 to -0.40), C-reactive protein (-1.69 Hedges', 95% CI: -3.00 to -0.38), and total testosterone (-0.12 ng/mL, 95% CI: -0.17 to -0.08) in women with PCOS.
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have higher circulating levels of C-reactive protein, but the relationship between inflammation and endocrine function in PCOS remains poorly understood.
All the concentrations of inflammatory factors including C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. were significantly higher in PCOS group than the control group (P < 0.001).
Herein, we perform a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effects of probiotic supplementation on glycemia control, lipidic profiles, weight loss and C-reactive protein (CRP) in women with PCOS.
Independent of body mass index (BMI), receiver operating characteristic curve for CRP/albumin ratio as a selective biomarker for PCOS was 0.865 (95% CI 0.824 to 0.905), which was more sensitive than CRP alone.
Additionally, a univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the increased monocyte counts to high density lipoprotein cholesterol values were more sensitive than the other known risk factors (such as increased body mass index, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and high sensitive C-reactive protein levels) in the prediction of the inflammation in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
A 12-week synbiotic supplementation has no significant beneficial effects on HOMA-IR and CRP in PCOS patients, whereas the level of apelin 36 significantly decreased.
Oral glucose tolerance tests, androgens, hs-CRP and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) were analyzed at baseline and after 6 months of atorvastatin (20 mg/d) or placebo treatment in 27 women with PCOS.
However, plasma Hp showed a negative correlation with MTT (r = - 0.383; p = 0.028), as well as a positive correlation with CRP (r = 0.361; p = 0.014) in the PCOS group.
This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of curcumin on IL-6 and CRP levels as well as insulin resistance (IR) index on liver function in PCOS rats.
Effect of Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy Along With Myo-Inositol on High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Insulin Resistance in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Chronic Periodontitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Data suggest that serum levels of CRP were decreased after metformin treatment in PCOS patients with an SMD (95% CI) of -0.86 [-1.24 to -0.48] and P = .000 (random-effects).
