Brief Summary

Recent studies have shown that C natriuretic peptide is produced from granulosa cells, increasing cumulative guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) production by affecting cumulus cells through natriuretic peptide receptors. It is suggested that produced cGMP maintains the transport of oocytes via the gap junctions and leads to a continuous increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in the oocyte. An important role of increased internal cAMP levels in the oocyte is shown to suppress meiotic progression. Deoxyribonucleic acid studies in animals have shown that expression of the natriuretic peptide precursor increases during the periovulatory period and shows that this increase decreases rapidly after luteinizing hormone / human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) stimulation.Human studies have shown that after ovulation induction, the CNP level in follicular fluid decreases following ovulatory dose of hCG.Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease in the reproductive period, characterized by hyperandrogenism, oligo-anovulation, and polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasonography, and in an animal study investigating the relationship between CNP and PCOS, serum CNP levels were increased in polycystic ovary syndrome.CNP serum level is thought to show differences between healthy women and women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Serum CNP Levels of PCOS and Healthy Participants

    The comparison of serum levels of C type natriuretic peptide among PCOS and healthy women

    Second or Third Day of Menstruation

  • Roc Curve of CNP

    We made a cut off value estimation for the diagnosis of PCOS by serum CNP levels using Receiver operator characteristics. The ROC curve incorporates both sensitivity (true positive rate) and specificity (true negative rate) providing a single assessment incorporating both measures. The higher the total area under the curve, the greater the predictive power of the CNP for diagnosing PCOS

    Second or Third Day of Menstruation

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Comparison of FSH and LH of PCOS and Healthy Women

    Second or Third Day of Menstruation

  • Serum Estradiol Levels of PCOS and Healthy Women

    Second or Third Day of Menstruation

  • Serum Tiroid Stimulating Hormone of PCOS and Healthy Women

    Second or Third Day of Menstruation

  • Serum Prolactin Levels of PCOS and Healthy Women

    Second or Third Day of Menstruation

  • Serum Androstenedione Levels of PCOS and Healthy Women

    Second or Third Day of Menstruation

  • +9 more secondary outcomes
