About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Adipokines ( Ghrelin, Resistin and Adiponectin), in Egyptian Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

To evaluate possible clinical effects of adipokines , ( ghrelin, resistin and adiponectin), in obese and non-obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Read the detailed description

Seventy selected PCOS patients will be recruited for this study, and will be divided into two groups based on their body mass index (BMI): 35 obese (BMI≥ 25 kg/m2, group A), 35 non-obese (BMI<25 kg/m2, group B). In addition, 35 healthy non-obese women (BMI<25 kg/m2) will bw enrolled as the control (group C). Serum levels of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), T(testosterone), glucose, insulin, adiponectin, resistin and resistin will bw detected, and compared the differences of them among three groups

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?

serum ghrelin level (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Oct 2018.
