Abstract
Abstract
Stein-Leventhal syndrome (Polycystic ovaries syndrome) , represent one of the major
obstacles facing reproductive medicine researchers , because there is no information
about the etiology of it, and that made them fail to draw smile on faces of millions of
women around the world, who are suffering from it. Scientists said that it is attributed
to genetic and environmental factors , and we hypothesized that it was caused by
environmental pollution by dioxins ( specifically heavy metals) , which disturb aryl
hydrocarbon receptor and that lead to disturbing of nuclear receptors and then
express genes which lead to hormonal , metabolic and immunological abnormalities
appear in PCOS patients. And fortunately this hypothesis supports our hypothesis
about the etiology of COVID-19 and its variants , clinically and epidemiologically.
PCOS can be transmitted transmammry , sexually from Dixon exposed male partners
, and due to direct exposure to Dixon either via explosion or by excessive use of
makeup .Experimental studies are required to test our hypothesis.
