The Rotterdam criteria-2003 was accepted to PCOS females with age range between (18-40 years), while the apparently control group with age ranged between (18-40 years). BMI and WHR and hormonal status (LH, FSH, LH/FSH ratio, Prolactin, Free Testosterone) were determined. Elabscience/USA ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle was used to determined IL-10 level in serum.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The obese PCOS women had a seriously decrease in IL-10 (pg/ml) level when compare with apparently healthy control group with mean ± SD for patients (2.192 ± 0.47) and for control group (4.532 ± 0.75) P value &lt; 0.0001, and there are significant negative correlations between IL-10 and (BMI p&lt;0.0001, r= -0.66), (WHR p&lt;0.0001, r= -0.66), (LH p&lt;0.0001, r= -0.63), (LH: FSH ratio p&lt;0.0001, r= -0.72), (Prolactin p=0.008, r= -029). &nbsp;</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our findings indicate that the IL-10 level decrease in PCOS obese patients and has significant association with pathogenesis and progression of disease.</p> ER -
