Abstract
Being one of the most biochemically complex organs in our body, liver carries out hundreds of intricate metabolic functions. Amongst those many, detoxification process of endogenous metabolic end-products and exogenous toxins is one of the major functions of liver, and it plays a critical role in the catabolism of hormones, and metabolic wastes. In PCOS women, it is common to see some level of compromise in liver function, whether clinical or subclinical. In fact, many studies in recent years have proven the relations between Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and PCOS. In this presentation, we will discuss how the liver detoxification can affect the various stages and clinical manifestation of PCOS as well as various treatment outcomes for our patients.
