Plasma monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and macrophage inflammatory protein-1α are increased in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and associated with adiposity, but unaffected by pioglitazone treatment

Glintborg Dorte , Andersen Marianne , Richelsen Bjorn , Bruun Jens

Objective: PCOS patients are often characterized by insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, and low-grade inflammation. Insulin sensitizing treatment reduces the inflammatory state, but the effect on serum levels of chemokines such as migration inhibitor factor (MIF), monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, and macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α have not previously been evaluated in PCOS.Research design and methods: Plasma chemokine levels (M...

Objective: The beneficial effects of testosterone treatment (TT) in men with low normal testosterone levels are debated. Chemokine levels have not previously been evaluated during TT in combination with strength training (ST).Design: A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study of 6 months TT (gel) in 54 men aged 6078 years with bioavailable testosterone (BioT) <7.3 nmol/l and waist circumference >94 cm randomized to TT (501...
