Abstract

Apolipoprotein A-Ⅰ(ApoA-Ⅰ)is an important factor participating in the process of reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). In patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), level of ApoA-Ⅰ was significantly low. The decreased expression of ApoA-Ⅰ could cause disorder of RCT, which may be connected with abnormal lipid metabolism and insulin resistance (IR) of PCOS patients.
