miR-124-3p Combined with ANGPTL2 Has High Diagnostic Values for Obese and Nonobese Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by Hongmei Dai, Fangting Liu, Jianshu Lu, Yan Yang, Pingping Liu

“…Firstly, miR-124-3p/ANGPTL2 expression patterns were detected in the serum of 102 PCOS patients and 100 healthy subjects. miR-124-3p or/and ANGPTL2 diagnostic efficacy on PCOS was further analyzed, in addition to the measurement of lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, sex hormone indexes, and inflammation levels. Correlations between serum miR-124-3p/ANGPTL2 expressions and age, BMI, Ferriman–Gallwey score, lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, sex hormone indexes, TNF-α, and IL-6 in PCOS patients were determined. …”
