Abstract:
Objective To discuss the relationship between leptin level and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adolescent patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, and to explore the classification diagnosis method of adolescent PCOS and indicator for clinical monitoring of obese patients. Methods All enrolled adolescent individuals were assigned into four groups: 30 normal adolescent individuals in the control group, 30 simple adolescent obese individuals in the simple obesity group,27 obese adolescent PCOS patients in the obese PCOS group and 14 nonobese adolescent PCOS patients in the nonobese PCOS group. The fasting serum samples were prepared for leptin level measurement and analysis, Results The serum leptin level of in the control group, the simple obesity group, the obese PCOS group and the nonobese PCOS group were ( 19.44 ± 6. 63 ) μg/L vs.(23.09 ±7. 39) μg/L, (42. 99 ±9. 83) μg/L and (31, 92 ±7, 02) μg/L,respectively. Leptin in the obese PCOS group was significantly higher than that in the control group and the simple obese group (t = 2. 903 and 2. 714 respectively,Ps ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion Monitoring the serum level of leptin can not only aid the classification of adolescent PCOS patients and guide the treatment, but also can serve as a indicator for therapeutic monitoring of obese adolescent PCOS.
