Insulin sensitivity in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Obese PCOS women were more insulin resistant than controls (P < 0.02 for M and P < 0.0008 for ISI); lean PCOS women did not differ from controls in M or ISI. Posthepatic insulin delivery was significantly higher in both lean and obese PCOS women compared with controls (P < 0.000008).
We conclude that lean PCOS women are not more insulin resistant than healthy controls. Insulin hypersecretion, on the other hand, is present even in lean PCOS women.
