Keywords:
Hirsutism, BMI, Hyperandrogenism, SHBG and testosteroneAbstract
Hyperandrogenism is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting approximately 7% of population with clinical manifestations of hirsutism. Hirsutism is the most recognizable clinical symptom of hyperandrogensim in women characterized by presence of excess terminal body or facial hair growth in male like pattern in androgen dependent areas. Time and food intake seem to have effect on androgens hormone. The mean of age for hirsute female, BMI and FG score are (25.5±6.2, 29.4±6.5 and 12.4±8.2) respectively. The valves of SHBG in fasting and non fasting hirsute females were (34.2±23.2, 33.3±22.7) respectively with significant difference, the value of testosterone was increased in fasting females (53.9±28.9) significantly more than non fasting while the value of DHEA-S was slightly increased in non fasting females. Moreover, in control groups only testosterone show significant difference (28.05±10.2) in fasting
