Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS), with rates up to 33%. This is associated with long-term consequences such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cancer, sleep apnea, and psychological issues. The prevalence of MS worldwide is often associated with obesity and T2DM, yet regional variations are reported.

Hyperplastic processes of the endometrium (HPE) are a group of benign endometrial and stromal cells that have undergone altered growth. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of hypoxia (as indicated by Hif-1α) and apoptosis markers (p53 and BCL-2) in the development of hyperplastic processes of the endometrium (HPE). Results showed that endometrial cells with atypical hyperplasia had increased levels of Hif-1ɑ, which indicates the presence of endometrial hypoxia and may trigger pathological manifestations.
