Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder among reproductive-age women and is associated with a high risk for metabolic disorders. Adiposity and insulin resistance are two prevalent conditions in PCOS and the likely culprits for the heightened metabolic risk. Up to 60% of women with PCOS are considered to be overweight or obese, and even among non-obese women with PCOS there is an increased accumulation of adipose tissue in abdominal depots. Insulin… Expand

Metabolic compromise in women with PCOS: earlier than expected.
TLDR
Considering the high prevalence of MetS or altered metabolic components in PCOS patients at the moment of the diagnosis, its regular screening is necessary to reduce the mortality and morbidity rates in these women. Expand
Treatment Strategies for the Infertile Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patient
TLDR
The ‘short’, antagonist-based protocol is the preferred option for PCOS patients, as it is associated with lower risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (specifically by using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist as ovulation trigger), but with comparable outcomes as the long protocol. Expand
Evaluation of the relationship between serum ferritin and insulin resistance and visceral adiposity index (VAI) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
TLDR
According to the results of this study, women with PCOS have a worse metabolic status than women without PCOS, however, this has been shown only in overweight and obese women, not in women with normal weight. Expand
Analysis of secreted peptidome from omental adipose tissue in polycystic ovarian syndrome patients
TLDR
The results provide a deeper understanding of adipose tissue‐derived peptides in PCOS for future functional studies and demonstrate that these cleavage products are not degradation products of the proteasome based on previous studies reported. Expand
Serum Osteoprotegerin is Diminished in the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Associated with Insulin Resistance
Introduction: The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder of reproductive age characterized by androgen excess and anovulation. PCOS is associated with insulin resistance (IR)… Expand
The impact of insulin resistance on clinical, hormonal and metabolic parameters in lean women with polycystic ovary syndrome
TLDR
Comparison of group means showed significantly higher values for waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), diastolic blood pressure and Ferriman–Gallwey score (FGS) in IR’s+ group, and HOMA-IR values were found to be positively correlated with WHR. Expand
Enlarged adipocytes in subcutaneous adipose tissue associated to hyperandrogenism and visceral adipose tissue volume in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
TLDR
The results indicate that PCOS women present adipose tissue dysfunction in the subcutaneous compartment, characterized by an alteration in adipocyte size and leptin/adiponectin expression and secretion, probably associated with higher androgen concentrations. Expand
Evaluation of Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness as a Cardiovascular Risk Factor in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
TLDR
In the PCOS group, when compared to the healthy subjects, dyslipidemia, HbA1c, waist to hip ratio, and CIMT were significantly different, and it might be suitable to perform an ultrasound for CimT in patients with higher Ferriman-Gallwey (FG) score. Expand
MicroRNA-141 and MicroRNA-200c Are Overexpressed in Granulosa Cells of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the expressions of bothmiR-141 and miR-200c were significantly increased in PCOS patients, which might contribute to the pathogenesis of PCOS. Expand
Quantification of visceral adipose tissue in polycystic ovary syndrome: dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry versus magnetic resonance imaging
TLDR
DXA showed high reproducibility making it is suitable for repeated measurements in the same individual over time, and DXA-VAT was superior to waist circumference and BMI in estimating MRI-Vat. Expand

Adipose Tissue Dysfunction in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
TLDR
The available data indicate that adipose tissue dysfunction plays a central role in the metabolic abnormalities observed in PCOS, which is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder among premenopausal women. Expand
Role of obesity and adiposity in polycystic ovary syndrome
TLDR
It has been shown that weight loss improves the metabolic and reproductive abnormalities that characterise the syndrome, and it is recommended that women with PCOS follow a Mediterranean diet. Expand
Mediators of chronic inflammation in polycystic ovarian syndrome
TLDR
The elucidation of the pathogenetic mechanisms implicated in PCOS and their connection with low-grade inflammation may in the future offer the opportunity for the formulation of novel therapeutic strategies and individualized therapy for these patients. Expand
Prevalence and characteristics of the metabolic syndrome in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
TLDR
It is concluded that the MBS and its components are common in women with PCOS, placing them at increased risk for cardiovascular disease and different features that may reflect more severe insulin resistance. Expand
Adipocyte biology in polycystic ovary syndrome
TLDR
The existing literature on fat distribution, adipokines, adipocyte hypertrophy and adipocyte steroid metabolism in women with PCOS is discussed. Expand
Epidemiology and adverse cardiovascular risk profile of diagnosed polycystic ovary syndrome.
TLDR
Within a large, community-based population receiving health care, diagnosed PCOS was highly prevalent and associated with a much higher frequency of cardiovascular risk factors that varied by race/ethnicity. Expand

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is now recognized as an important metabolic as well as reproductive disorder conferring substantially increased risk for type 2 diabetes. Affected women have marked… Expand
Abdominal adiposity and the polycystic ovary syndrome
TLDR
The existing evidence for a vicious circle whereby androgen excess favoring the abdominal deposition of fat further facilitates androgen secretion by the ovaries and adrenals in PCOS patients is reviewed. Expand
Evidence for metabolic and reproductive phenotypes in mothers of women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
TLDR
It is suggested that both the reproductive and metabolic abnormalities persist with age in PCOS, and obese mothers have a very high prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Expand
The effect of obesity on polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
TLDR
It is suggested that prevention and treatment of obesity is important for the management of PCOS and central obesity was associated with higher fasting insulin levels. Expand
