Insulin resistance in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome(pcos)

Objectives: To analysis the correlation between polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) and insulin resistance. Methods: In this study,58 PCOS patients and 52 healthy volunteers were selected as POCS group and control group respectively. Hormone and insulin levels at each time point in insulin release experiments were collected to compare body mass index(BMI) and waist-hip ratio(WHR) of PCOS patients with insulin resistance and patients without insulin resistance by conducting statistical analysis. Results: Insulin level and testosterone level of PCOS group were higher than control group,with statistically significant difference(P 0. 05). BMI and WHR of the insulin resistance group was higher than non-insulin resistance group,with statistically significant difference(P 0. 05). Conclusions:Generally,PCOS patients have insulin resistance,which is also related to high androgen level and obesity.
