Could the theory of chaos contribute to the interpretation of pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a syndrome involving defects in primary cellular control mechanisms that result in the expression of chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism. In this syndrome the relation between the various parameters is of particular interest. These relations constitute the cornerstone of the pathogenesis of PCOS. The fact that the pathogenesis of the PCOS has not yet been clarified, despite the plethora of relative information, may be the result of a general way of thinking in the interpretation of several scientific data, and especially those that refer to biochemical phenomena. The use of the various models of the theory of chaos, that permits a concrete approach for the interpretation of data, may constitute an optional procedure for the future understanding of the association of different parameters and their disturbances in the pathogenesis of PCOS.
