Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if changes in blood vessel health lead to the menstrual irregularities that women with PCOS experience. This research study will help determine if women with PCOS have early changes in their blood vessels called "endothelial dysfunction," and if the number of progenitor cells (cells that in a healthy person repair blood vessel damage) are related to these blood vessel changes. To do so, we will compare ultrasound (soundwave) pictures of a large blood vessel in the arm and the results of blood tests between women with PCOS and other healthy women with normal menstrual periods.
Primary Outcome
A blood pressure cuff is placed on right forearm. A 7-12MHz linear array ultrasound transducer is placed on upper arm. 2-D and Doppler images are acquired. Forearm cuff is inflated to \~ 50 mmHg above resting systolic blood pressure (max 300 mmHg) for 4.5 minutes, then deflated. Blood flow velocity via Doppler is recorded for 15 seconds; 2D-images of the brachial artery are collected for 3 minutes. Brachial artery diameter is measured at end diastole (R-wave on ECG).FMD is determined: %FMD=(LDp-
