Insulin Resistance and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance and the associated compensatory hyperinsulinemia are common findings in women with PCOS, and may play a key role in this condition. METHODS In this article, we focused on the significance of insulin resistance in PCOS, reviewing the available literature on epidemiology, pathogenesis, pathophysiology and treatment of this condition. RESULTS It has been estimated...
متن کاملLeptin, Ghrelin, Adiponectin, Homocysteine and Insulin Resistance Related to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The relationship between leptin, adiponectin, ghrelin, homocysteine, insulin resistance and other biochemical factors in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is controversial. We review how the expanded role of these factors in reproduction might impact our understanding of PCOS. For purposes of our review, we accessed the PUBMED database during the past 10 years. Our review confirms tha...
متن کاملHIV protease inhibitors, the lipodystrophy syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome--is there a link?
A metabolic syndrome of insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, central/visceral obesity, and peripheral lipodystrophy has been described with HIV protease inhibitors (PIs). A recent clinical presentation has led us to hypothesise that PIs can precipitate the metabolic changes associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by causing insulin resistance, and that people developing the metabolic/lip...
متن کاملHigh Serum Ferritin Concentrations in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is Not Related to Insulin Resistance
OBJECTIVE: Some data are available on the association between components of the insulin resistance syndrome and serum ferritin. Insulin resistance is observed in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) We hypothesize that body iron stores might be increased in these women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred and six people (103 PCOS patients and 103 healthy women who were matched for a...
متن کاملCalciotropic hormones, insulin resistance, and the polycystic ovary syndrome.
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether abnormalities in serum concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)(2)D], 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, and phosphorus were associated with risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity. The possible correlations of the calciotropic hormones with insulin resistance were also examined. DESIGN Case-control study...
