متن کاملIs Insulin Resistance an Intrinsic Defect in Asian Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?
PURPOSE Approximately 50% to 70% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have some degree of insulin resistance, and obesity is known to worsen insulin resistance. Many metabolic consequences of PCOS are similar to those of obesity; therefore, defining the cause of insulin resistance in women can be difficult. Our objective was to clarify the factors contributing to insulin resistance in...
متن کاملEpicardial adipose tissue is associated with visceral fat, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance in menopausal women.

Echocardiographic assessment of this tissue is an easy and reliable marker of cardiometabolic risk. However, there are insufficient studies on the relationship between epicardial fat and insulin resistance during the postmenopausal period, when cardiovas...
