PCOS is characterized by insulin resistance. Inflammation has been anticipated to play role in the pathogenesis of both insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an inflammatory mediator synthesized in a variety of cells and tissues. In the present study, serum PTX3 level and its relationship with insulin resistance were investigated in patients with PCOS. In total, 40 patients with PCOS and 40 age and body mass index (BMI) matched healthy controls were enr...
