Relationship between follicular fluid selenium of Sudanese women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Keywords:
follicular fluid selenium., polycystic ovary syndrome
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the concentration of selenium in the follicular fluid of Sudanese women patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. A case control study of 56 Sudanese women patients with polycystic ovary syndrome was compared with 55 healthy subjects as a control group; all mean age was 33 year. A follicular fluid sample was taken and selenium levels were analyzed using flameless atomic absorption. The mean (±SD) follicular fluid selenium level in control case was 61.41±29.14μg/L while among polycystic ovary syndrome patients, the follicular fluid selenium was 83.1±32.72μg/L. There was statistically significant (P<0.05) difference in follicular fluid selenium level between women patients and normal subjects.
