Increased prolidase activity and oxidative stress in PCOS

Abstract: Women with PCOS have increased serum prolidase activity and oxidative stress. It might be hypothesized that elevated serum prolidase activity and oxidative stress may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk in PCOS and/or menstrual irregularities associated with this syndrome.

“…Prolidase is a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) that degrades the extracellular matrix. It was found that increased MMPs can result in symptoms seen in women with PCOS such as abnormal ovarian extracellular remodeling, multiple cyst formation, and chronic anovulation, leading to infertility [37]. …”

“…The ECM is the microenvironment around cells that provides them with physical support. It is also responsible for transmitting signals for the different cellular functions [37]. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are extracellular peptidases that hydrolyze several proteins including those making up the ECM and therefore could contribute to the altered cellular environment and various pathologies [104].…”

“…Still, AA patients have not been studied concerning their prolidase activity. Hilali et al [11] determined an increased serum enzyme activity of prolidase and increased oxidative stress in polycystic ovary syndrome. Bozkurt et al [13] examined serum prolidase levels and oxidative stress parameters in patients with Behçet’s disease.…”
