Résumé
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as systemic disease, is accompanied by different indexes of inflammation. Free light chains of immunoglobulins (FLCs), produced by plasmacells, are released in slight excess for the immune requests, with still poorly defined physiological role but surely they represent a marker of inflammation. In order to evaluate their levels and correlate them with hyperandrogenism, we have studied a group of PCOS patients, age range 18-37 yrs, mean ± SEM body mass index (BMI) 24.1 ± 0.9 kg/m
