Abstract

Objective. The aim of this study is to compare the serum level of visfatin between patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and control subjects matched for age and body mass index (BMI) and to assess the possible correlations of visfatin to the hormonal and metabolic parameters of the syndrome.
