ALTERED LIPID PROFILE ASSOCIATED WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME WOMEN OF TAMILNADU
Keywords:
Cardiovascular disease, Dyslipidaemia, PCOS, LipidAbstract
The lipid profile of PCOS women were investigated between the age group of 25 – 37 years who were age, sex
matched with 46 control healthy individuals. 10mL of blood was collected from each subject by venipuncture
and the lipid profile was estimated. There was a significant (p<0.01) rise in triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL and
a significant fall in HDL (p<0.01) levels of PCOS women as compared to the controls. The dyslipidaemia
associated in PCOS women may contribute to the risk of cardiovascular diseases reported at later stages in
them.
