No meta-analyses have examined whether PCOS is associated with nitric oxide (NO). Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the association between serum\/plasma nitrite levels and PCOS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed a meta-analysis.
