objective: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is the most common endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age characterized by the presence of polycystic ovaries, menstrual dysfunction and biochemical or clinical hyperandrogenism. lifestyle modification is important in treatment of obese and overweight women with pcos. this study was performed to evaluate the benefit of aerobic exercise training on obesity and insulin resistance in young women with pcos. materials and methods: twenty obese pcos patients aged 15-30 underwent a 12-week aerobic training program. anthropometric parameters (weight, height, maximum oxygen consumption, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio and body fat percentage), metabolic and hormonal profiles (glucose and insulin) were assessed and compared at the baseline and after the 12-week training program. results: after a 12-week aerobic training program body weight decreased from 76.9 ± 11.69 to 74.01 ± 11.82 kg, body fat percentage decreased from 37.01% ± 4.16 to 35.57% ± 4.13 and waist circumference decreased from 86.4 ± 8.75 to 82.29 ± 6.59 cm (p < 0.05). there was also a significant increase in v02max, from 34.77 ± 1.86 to 35.87 ± 1.94 (p = 0.006). changes in fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and insulin resistance were not significant. conclusion: aerobic training program improves anthropometric parameters, and metabolic and hormonal profiles in young women with pcos.

Effect of aerobic training in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder amongst women of reproductive age and is associated with various metabolic perturbations. Chronic low grade inflammation has been reported to participate in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. In this study we examined the effects of 8 weeks aerobic training on serum C-reactive protein level and cardiometab...

Obesity and insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of obesity and various phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) on the insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and insulin resistance (IR). METHODS ISI and IR from 273 women in four phenotypes of PCOS and control groups were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS The ISI and the percentage of IR were not significantly different among discrete phenotypes of PCOS gr...

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of six weeks of combined exercises with supplementation of cinnamon on glucose, insulin and fat mass in women with PCOS. Materials and Methods: 40 women with mean age of 24.15 ± 2.64 and BMI of 27.95 ± 1.28 were randomly assigned into 4 groups (exercise, exercise-supplement, supplement, control). Exercise-supplementation and exercise group...

Insulin resistance and adverse metabolic profile in overweight/obese and normal weight of young women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOs) is an endocrine-metabolic disorder. This study intends to determine the comparison of insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic disturbance in overweight/obese and normal-weight of young women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Methods: Using a comparative cross-sectional study design in 2015, 27 normal weight (18<bmi Results: 112 women with PCOS participa...

Insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with insulin resistance. There are also defects in pancreatic beta-cell function in affected women. These abnormalities are heritable. There are post-binding defects in insulin receptor signaling, with selective resistance to insulin's metabolic actions and constitutively activated mitogenic signaling in skeletal muscle. Intrinsic and environmental...
