Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common ovarian endocrinopathy affecting women of reproductive age and it is also the most common and complex endocrinopathy worldwide, with a prevalence of 6–10%. The occurrence of PCOS is associated with hyperandrogenemia and/or hirsutism, ovulatory dysfunction, infertility, and many metabolic abnormalities. The latter includes insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Additionally, it has been reported that the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increased in women with PCOS.
Taking into account the great impact PCOS has on women’s health, I would like to encourage submissions to our Special Issue that cover many aspects of that disease, including genetic, metabolic and reproductive factors. We gratefully accept submissions of both original and review studies.
Prof. Dr. Decio Armanini
