It is released from several tissues including forebrain, hindbrain, brainstem, spinal cord and adipose tissues.\n* It plays an important role in hypothalamic pathways such as feeding inhibition, locomotion, stress modulation, thermogenesis, and reproduction.\n* Several studies had demonstrated that nesfatin-1 associated with body mass index (BMI), insulin resistance and inflammatory response disorders.\n* Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common causes of infertility in women. It is characterized by hyperandrogenism, multiple ovarian cysts, oligomenorrhea/amenorrhea. Many mechanisms had been reported to be responsible for the pathophysiology of PCOS. The condition is thought to be interactions between hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and metabolic disorders.\n* The circulating level of nesfatin-1 in PCOS patients is controversial. Some studies reveal lower nesfatin-1 serum levels while others reveal higher level.\n* Women with PCOS may have reduced dopamine production from the hypothalamus and elevated prolactin concentrations and this mechanism may be responsible for reproductive disorder.\n* In PCOS, stimulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation from mononuclear cells (MNCs) by hyperglycemia . The superoxide radical in particular is a ROS that is generated by the activity of membrane-bound nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase.\n* Dopaminergic (DA) neurons are highly susceptible to ROS. DA is relatively unstable molecule and undergoes auto-oxidative metabolism in nigro striatal tract system, leading to ROS production. Nicotinamide can reduce hypothalamic dopamine in postnatal brains results in dopamine-deficient phenotypes. Nicotinamide prevents DA release induced by long-term perinatal asphyxia.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '40 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': "The PCOS patients included in this study will be selected from out patient's clinic of the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Assiut university hospital, Assiut, Egypt, during one year after the study begins.
