CHRONIC INFLAMMATION MARKERS hs-CRP, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 AND sE-SELECTIN LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME

Abstract

Objective: Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome have many risk factors associated with development of cardiovascular disease development. Presence of low grade chronic inflammation has been indicated as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We investigated the levels of hs-CRP, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 and sE-Selektin as markers of chronic inflammation.
