Abstract:

This study aim to knowing the relationship between levels of oxidative stress on the incidence of insulin resistance in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This is Observational study with a crosssectional approach, samples of 27 patients with insulin resistance confirmed by IR HOMA > 2 and 27 patients without insulin resistance confirmed by HOMA IR < 2, then all subjects were tested for Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) levels using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method from January to December 2019. The average level of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) was 1.58, the average value of HOMA-IR was 2.91. There was a significant relationship between the ROS levels to the value of HOMA IR in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) (p = 0.001; p <0.05). This study concludes that significant relationship between ROS and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is based on the mechanism of hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance resulting in increasing in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which results in hyperandrogenic conditions in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
