Background. PCOS is one of the most common endocrinological pathologies in women of reproductive age, manifested by a wide range of clinical manifestations. There are many unresolved issues related to the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this pathological condition in different periods of reproductive age. Aim the objective of the study was to identify the features of the functioning of the pituitary-ovarian system in women with PCOS at different periods of reproductive age. Methods. Study was performed in 20172019 at the FSPSI SCFHHRP, and involved women aged 1845 years. The study groups included women (a group of women with PCOS and a control group) in the follicular phase from 1 to 12 days of the menstrual cycle. As a result of the survey, a group of 44 women with PCOS and a group of 56 healthy women were formed. PCOS was diagnosed according to ESHRE/ASRM criteria (Rotterdam, 2003). Next, subgroups of women in early reproductive age from 35 to 45 years were formed: a group of women with PCOS (n = 29) and a control group (n = 22). And groups of women in late reproductive age from 35 to 45 years were formed: a group of women with PCOS (n = 15) and a control group (n = 34). Conducted: questionnaire survey, general and gynecological examination, ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs, laboratory tests, statistical data analysis. Results. In women with polycystic ovary syndrome of early reproductive age (1835 years), we detected an increase in the level of testosterone by 2 times, DHEA-S by 1.3 times, 17-OH-progesterone by 2 times, sex steroid-binding globulin by 1.4 times, in comparison with control group. The ratio of luteinizing hormone to follicle-stimulating hormone increased by 52%. In women with polycystic ovary syndrome of late reproductive age (3545 years), we detected an increase in the level of testosterone by 1.5 times, 17-OH-progesterone by 1.9 times, luteinizing hormone by 1.4 times, sex steroid-binding globulin by 1.6 times, in comparison with control group, without any significant differences in DHEA-S. At the same time, the ratio of luteinizing hormone to follicle-stimulating hormone increased by 60%. Conclusion. The hormonal profile of women with PCOS of early and late reproductive period is characterized by series of age-related changes in the pituitary-ovarian system, which should be taken into account in preventive and therapeutic measures.

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is not an easy procedure, as the signs and symptoms are heterogeneous and of undefined aetiology.AIM: This study is aimed to evaluate serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level and luteinizing hormone (LH)/folic stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio in women with PCOS in Sudan and to assess the diagnostic efficiency for the diagnosis of PCOS.METHODS: In a case-control study, Serum AMH, LH, FSH was measured in the early follicular phase from Sudanese patients (N = 230) with PCOS and100 controls. The LH/FSH ratio was calculated, and its diagnostic power was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curves.RESULTS: The means of serum AMH, serum LH level and LH/FSH ratio of the test, were significantly increased in the test group compared to the control group (P-value < 0.000). The AMH sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) were found to be 83%, 99%, 99%, and 72% respectively. Serum AMH was considered adequate measures for the diagnosis of PCOS; its level showed an area under the ROC curve of 0.98 (95% confidence, P-value < 0.000). The best compromise between 98% specificity and 90% sensitivity was obtained with a cut-off value of 3.3 ng/mL for PCOS diagnosis. There was no correlation between age, body mass index (BMI) and AMH level in the test group.CONCLUSIONS: The Serum AMH level and LH/FSH ratio were higher in patients than in control. However AMH level has better discriminative power and good diagnostic potency for the diagnosis of the PCOS among Sudanese women.

This study was conducted on 40 Samples of Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) after their diagnosis, The study aimed to identify the most important  hormonal disorders associated  with  this syndrome . The study begins from Octobar 2017 to March 2018 , the age from(19-45) years .Blood samples were taken during the (2-4( days of menstrual cycle and the selected samples were compared with 20 healthy women as control group ,and the following hormones were evaluated Luteninzing hormone (LH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Prolactin (PRL),Testosterone (Testo) and Oxytocin (OX) ,the study showed a high significant in the concentrations of OX ,Testo and LH (P≤0.01) , a high significant in the PRL concentration (P≤0.05) and a high significant in the FSH concentration (P≤0.05(,the results were distributed to three groups according to BMI ,age and treatment, in term BMI it was divided into three groups, BMI(18.5-24.9)(25.0-29.9) (≥30)kg/m2 the results showed a high significant (P≤0.05)  in the LH and OX concentration in  group BMI (18.5-24.9)kg/m2 and in both PRL and Testo in group BMI(≥30)kg/m2. in term age, it was divided into three groups (19-26) (27-35) (36-45)years, the results showed a high significant (P≤0.05) in LH  and Testo concentration at age group (36-45)years ,compared to other groups, and a high significant (P≤0.05) in both PRL and OX, between three group of age , treatment it was divided  into three groups of metformin, progesterone contraceptive used and non-used of the treatment .the results showed a high significant (P≤0.05) in LH, PRL, OX and Testo concentrations, and a high significant (P≤0.05) of FSH in women treated compared with non-used  .   http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.24.2019.085

Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common, highly heritable complex disorder of unknown aetiology characterized by hyperandrogenism, chronic anovulation and defects in glucose homeostasis. Increased luteinizing hormone relative to follicle-stimulating hormone secretion, insulin resistance and developmental exposure to androgens are hypothesized to play a causal role in PCOS. Here we map common genetic susceptibility loci in European ancestry women for the National Institutes of Health PCOS phenotype, which confers the highest risk for metabolic morbidities, as well as reproductive hormone levels. Three loci reach genome-wide significance in the case–control meta-analysis, two novel loci mapping to chr 8p23.1 and chr 11p14.1, and a chr 9q22.32 locus previously found in Chinese PCOS. The same chr 11p14.1 SNP, rs11031006, in the region of the follicle-stimulating hormone B polypeptide (FSHB) gene strongly associates with PCOS diagnosis and luteinizing hormone levels. These findings implicate neuroendocrine changes in disease pathogenesis.
