  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Study population: The diagnosis of Polycystic ovary syndrome was made in the presence of ;oligo- and/or anovulation,clinical and/or biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries. Clinical hyperandrogenism was defined by the presence of hirsutism, acne, or the presence of androgenic alopecia , biochemical hyperandrogenemia was defined as a serum level of total testosterone higher than 2.60 nmol/L, body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. The patients were classified as obese with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 , adolescent patients were diagnosed 2 years after menarche in order to avoid the misdiagnosis of transitory functional hyperandrogenism and menstrual disorders during puberty.

Who may be able to join

  • The participants with the following findings;oligo- and/or anovulation, clinical and/or biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries, presence in each ovary of 12 or more follicles measuring 2-9 mm in diameter and/or increased ovarian volume (> 10 mL).

Who cannot join

  • The participants with the following findings;pregnancy,breastfeeding,known liver disease or alanine aminotransferase (60 IU/l), creatinine (130 mmol/l), known alcohol abuse, diabetes mellitus and treatment with oral glucocorticoids or hormonal contraceptives.
  • Patients could be included if hormonal contraception had been discontinued at least 1 month previously.

About this study

Official title: Is Serum Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Level Associated With Body Weight, Glycemic and Lipidemic Markers in Adolescent Girls With Polycystic Ovaries?

In this study the investigators aimed to investigate whether there is a relation between body weight and serum anti mullerian hormone levels in adults with polycystic ovary syndrome. For this purpose the investigators designed a prospective study including three groups. The group I is defined as adults with polycystic ovary syndrome and body mass index is greater than 25. The group II is defined as adults with polycystic ovary syndrome and body mass index is less than 25. The group III is defined as adults with non-polycystic ovary syndrome and body mass index is less than 25. The all three groups are compared considering their serum AMH levels,lipid profiles, sex steroids and glycemic analyses.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, run by Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ovarian reserve, as measured by basal follicle stimulating hormone/anti-Mullerian hormone/antral follicle count (time frame: Three months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2014.
