Abstract

The study focused on magnesium and zinc and their relationship with insulin resistance in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), where 61 samples were taken from women who had the syndrome and 45 samples from women who weren't affected by the syndrome as a control group. The results showed that there is a significant negative correlation between magnesium and zinc with insulin resistance (IR) at (p = 0.001) and ( p = 0.004) respectively, for those with the syndrome, due to the high levels of insulin in their blood and the incapacity of zinc and magnesium to play their respective roles in regulating the insulin and blood sugar level. Their relationship with body mass index (BMI) were strongly significant at (p = 0.009) and (p = 0.01) respectively, and with waist-hip ratio (WHR) were significant at (p = 0.002) and (p = 0.001) respectively. Finally, the study proved that magnesium and zinc are two new markers of increased risk factors for PCOS in women with insulin resistance.
