OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate serum concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in relation with hormonal and metabolic profile in patients with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: A total of 40 women with PCOS and 40 age-matched controls were eligible for the study. Hirsutism scores, hormonal and metabolic profile as well as IL-6 levels were evaluated in each subject. RESULTS: Women with PCOS exhibited higher body mass index (BMI) and serum concentrations of IL-6 levels than controls (p < 0.05); however, levels of IL-6 were not significantly increased when compared with BMI-matched controls (p > 0.05). IL-6 levels were significantly correlated positively with BMI and triglyceride levels; however, negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein levels. CONCLUSION: The data of this study suggested that serum IL-6 levels were found to be higher in women with PCOS as compared to controls; however, IL-6 levels might be dependent on nutritional status but not on PCOS per se. Raised serum IL-6 levels may be related to BMI and serum lipid levels and may be a predictor for cardiometabolic risks.
