Correlations between serum follicle stimulating hormone,luteinizing hormone,prolactin levels and insulin resistance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Objective:To analyze correlations between serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH),luteinizing hormone (LH),prolactin (PRL) levels and insulin resistance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods:The clinical data of 80 PCOS patients admitted to this hospital from 2020 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed and they were set as the observation group;another 80 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. The levels of FSH,LH,PRL and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were compared between the two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations between the serum FSH,LH,PRL levels and HOMA-IR. Results:There was no significant difference in the FSH level between the two groups (P>0.05). The LH level of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,the PRL level was lower than that of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The level of HOMA-IR in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the LH level was positively correlated with HOMA-IR (r>0,P<0.05),and the PRL level was negatively correlated with HOMA-IR (r<0,P<0.05). Conclusions:The serum LH level is positively correlated with HOMA-IR in POCS patients,while the PRL level is negatively correlated with HOMA-IR in POCS patients.
