The current study investigated polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and its impact on several variables related to female infertility and elevated body mass index (BMI). The study included two groups of women: a control group (15 women aged 25-35 years) and a patient group (20 women) of the same age group. The study included measuring the levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)، anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)، insulin resistance، and magnesium levels. The results showed a significant decrease in sex hormone-binding globulin levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) compared to the control group. Conversely، the results showed a significant increase in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in women with PCOS compared to the control group. The study also indicated a significant increase in insulin resistance in the PCOS group compared to the control group، The results showed a significant decrease in magnesium in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) compared to normal women. From these results، it can be concluded that PCOS significantly and directly affects many variables closely related to obesity and female infertility، and these variables may be important indicators of the development of infertility and obesity.
