title: Increased monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 levels indicating early vascular damage in lean young PCOS patients.
abstract: Serum levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and C-reactive protein levels, as early signs of vascular damage and cardiovascular disease, were increased in young, lean patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 levels were positively correlated with serum LH, T, and C-reactive protein levels.
