Insulin resistance and adverse metabolic profile in overweight/obese and normal weight of young women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Abstract
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 (183.15) vs. 8.3% (5) in the normal group (P13µU/ml) vs. 10.3% (7) in the control group (p<0.001). Conclusions: Overweight/obese PCOs patients revealed higher insulin resistance and lower insulin sensitivity, and also greater TG and LDL cholesterol. Priority of management of insulin resistance and lipid profile should be considered on identifying these potentially major complications.</bmi
