Phoenixin-14 concentrations are increased in association with luteinizing hormone and nesfatin-1 concentrations in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Compared to control women, PCOS patients had significantly increased serum phoenixin-14, LH and androgen concentrations. The positive correlations of phoenixin-14 concentrations with LH and TT concentrations suggest a possible role of phoenixin-14 in the development of PCOS.
