Abstract EN
This study is designed to measure the level of interleukin (IL) 18 in polycystic ovary women and its association with obesity.
In this study, blood samples from 50 women with PCOS and 30 healthy control women were collected from ALYarmouk Teaching, Baghdad Teaching hospitals During January 2018 - March 2018 for estimation of their serum level of IL18 by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique and evaluation serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Testosterone, prolactin (PRL) and Estradiol (E2) by using Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA).
The results showed that there is a highly significant increase (P < 0.001) in serum level of IL18 in PCOS women than in healthy control group.
As well as, the results of IL-18 value according to Body mass index (BMI) showed significant difference (P<0.05) between BMI and IL-18 level in all the PCOS patient subgroups (normal weight, overweight and obesity).
Also, there was a significant increase in LH, FSH, PRL and T, and significant decrease in E2 was detected in PCOS patients
