Together with ninety healthy volunteer females included as controls. Serum levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free Thyroxine (Free T4), Free Triiodothyronine (Free T3) and anti-thyro peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO Ab) were tested in the two groups. In results a significant increase was found in TSH and anti-TPO Ab (P<0.05) along with a significant decrease in free T3 and free T4 in PCOS females matched against controls (P<0.05). In conclusion the data suggest that hypothyroidism related to PCOS, and this hypothyroidism could result in auto immune disease.
