Relationship between follicular fluid selenium of Sudanese : women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract EN

-The aim of this study was to investigate the concentration of selenium in the follicular fluid of Sudanese women patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

A case control study of 56 Sudanese women patients with polycystic ovary syndrome was compared with 55 healthy subjects as a control group; all mean age was 33 year.

A follicular fluid sample was taken and selenium levels were analyzed using flameless atomic absorption.

The mean ( ± SD) follicular fluid selenium level in control case was 61.

41 ± 29.

14μg / L while among polycystic ovary syndrome patients, the follicular fluid selenium was 83.

1 ± 32.

72μg / L.

There was statistically significant (P < 0.

05) difference in follicular fluid selenium level between women patients and normal subjects
