Leptin hormone changes in patients with poly cystic ovarian syndrome treated by aromatase inhibitors

In the last few years a novel scope suggest the use of Aromatase inhibitors in women with PCOS (one of the most cause of anovulatory infertility) for treating the whole spectrum of reproductive, endocrine abnormalities usually found in such subject, particularly those who are classified as Clomiphen...
