The effect of ۱۲ weeks aerobic exercise on DHEAso۴, ۱۷OH-Progestron concentrations, number of follicles and menstrual condition of women with PCOS

Introduction: The effective method of treatment of Polycystic Overy Syndrome (PCOS) is lifestyle modification. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ۱۲ weeks aerobic exercise on DHEAso۴, ۱۷OH-Progestron Concentrations, number of follicles and menstrual condition of women with PCOS. Methods: In this clinical trial, ۴۰ PCOS patients lean (BMI<۲۰) and obese (BMI>۲۵) randomly divided into two trained and sedentary control groups. DHEAso۴, ۱۷OH-Progestron Concentrations, number of follicles and menstrual condition were measured before and after the program (۱۲-week exercise training program, aerobic exercise at ۶۰-۸۰% of maximal heart rate, ۲۵-۳۰ min/day, ۳ days/week). Results: Decline of DHEAso۴, ۱۷OH-Progestron Concentrations were significant after exercise in obese group (P=۰.۰۲۳, P<۰.۰۰۰۱). The number of follicles right and left ovaries decreased significantly after exercise in two groups lean and obese (Right; P=۰.۰۱۹, P=۰.۰۴۱ and Left ovary; P=۰.۰۰۵, P=۰.۰۰۸). Menstrual situation was improved after exercise in obese and lean groups (P=۰.۰۲۸, P<۰.۰۰۰۱). The body weight decreased significantly after exercise in obese groups (P<۰.۰۰۰۱). Conclusion: It seems that a term of exercise with weight loss can induce decline of DHEAso۴ and ۱۷OH-Progestron. In addition, exercise lead to improved menstrual condition and reduction of number of ovarian follicles per groups of lean and obese.
