Abstract:

It is becoming apparent that is patients with hirsutism, metabolic aberrations are of greater health importance rather than unwanted hair growth.in this respect , evaluation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism was carried out on a group of 92 women with idiopathic hirsutism(IH).these were divided into: obese and non-profit obese  groups.seventy healthy subjects were also taken as control group.there was no significant difference in the levels of FSH ,LH, estrogen, progesteron and prolactin between IH patients and control group.but the levels of total testestron( p< 0.01) and DHEA ( p< 0.05)  was significantly increased in the IH patients as compared with the control group.the glucose tolerance test and insulin response to the oral glucose as well as concentration to triglycerides was increased in the IH patients.in non-obese IH( NOIH ) group the glucose tolerance was significantly higher than that of the obese IH ( NOIH) group.the insulin response to oral glucose was higher in the OIH group as compared with the NOIH group.HDL- C level was significantly declined in the IH patients(p< 0.01) , but the levels of LDL-C and total cholesterol had no significant differences between patients and control group.fasting blood insulin and total testestron was correlation with increased triglycerides and decreased HDL- C (p<0.05). Based on these results further investigation are recommended to find the involved mechanisms in metabolic aberrations in patients with idiopathic hirsutism.

Idiopathic Hirsutism and Insulin Resistance

Background and Objectives. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and idiopathic hirsutism (HI) are the two most common causes of hirsutism. Insulin resistance plays a key role in PCOS, but there are not enough data showing that patients with HI also have insulin resistance. This study was designed to evaluate the presence of insulin resistance in women with HI. Methods. Based on a cross-sectional st...

Insulin resistance in women with hirsutism

INTRODUCTION There are still not enough data showing whether patients with idiopathic hirsutism (IH) also have insulin resistance. The association between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance is well documented in the literature, but the Rotterdam Consensus has concluded that principally obese women with PCOS should be screened for the metabolic syndrome. We intended to inves...

Insulin secretion and sensitivity during oral glucose tolerance test in Korean lean elderly women.

Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes including undiagnosed isolated postchallenge hyperglycemia (IPH) are common in the elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate the insulin secretion and sensitivity in Korean elderly lean diabetic women. Forty-one lean women aged 65-88 years took 2 hr oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and were stratified according to the WHO criteria (...

Comparison of oral glucose insulin sensitivity with other insulin sensitivity surrogates from oral glucose tolerance tests in Chinese.

INTRODUCTION There is no single method of measuring insulin resistance that is both accurate and can be easily performed by general researchers. We validate the accuracy of oral glucose insulin sensitivity (OGIS) in the Chinese by comparing the OGIS120 and OGIS180, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (OUICKI) with steady...

Insulin secretion and insulin resistance in Korean women with gestational diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance

BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim was to compare the insulin sensitivity and secretion index of pregnant Korean women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT; only one abnormal value according to the Carpenter and Coustan criteria), and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed with 1,163 pregnant women with positive (1-...

Idiopathic hirsutism.

Hirsutism, the presence of terminal (coarse) hairs in females in a male-like pattern, affects between 5% and 10% of women. Of the sex steroids, androgens are the most important in determining the type and distribution of hairs over the human body. Under the influence of androgens hair follicles that are producing vellus-type hairs can be stimulated to begin producing terminal hairs (i.e., termi...
