Increased testosterone and proinflammatory cytokines in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome correlate with elevated GnRH receptor autoantibody activity assessed by a fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based bioassay
ConclusionsElevated GnRHR-AAb activity, as assessed by a new FRET assay, is associated with increased testosterone and proinflammatory cytokines in PCOS, suggesting autoimmune activation of GnRHR may contribute to the pathogenesis of this common disorder.
