Women with PCOS develop disorders of the opioid system, which is manifested by changes in the level of beta-endorphins in the blood plasma of these women. The duration of PCOS affects the level of beta-endorphins in blood plasma: in the first phase of the disease, there is an increase in endorphins (duration from 1 to 5 years), in the second phase (duration of PCOS more than 5 years), the neurotransmitters system is depleted and the level of endorphins decreases.
