BACKGROUND Dyslipidemia, diabetes and obesity are all potent cardiovascular risk factors that tend to cluster in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Metabolic disorders in patients with PCOS cannot be explained solely by the presence of obesity. OBJECTIVE To study the correlation between insulin resistance and serum lipid profile in Indian women with PCOS. SETTING Gynecology clinic of a tertiary care hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective study done from April 2004…

Study of Insulin Resistance and Lipid Profile in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

It is suggested that insulin resistance in PCOS women is associated with dyslipidemia and if measurement of insulin resistance and serum lipid profile is done early, the disease progression can be prevented and prevent future complications.

A study on prevalence of abnormal glucose tolerance and correlation of insulin resistance with dyslipidemia in South-Indian women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Indian women with PCOS are at increased risk of IGT and NIDDM, and PCOS women have significant alteration in lipid profile and hence are more prone for cardiovascular disease.

EVALUATE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INSULIN RESISTANCE AND SERUM LIPOPROTEIN RATIO IN POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME

Insulin resistance was significantly positively correlated with serum lipid profile and serum lipoprotein ratio except with serum HDL, which was significantly negatively correlated.

STUDY OF INFLUENCE OF BODY ADIPOSITY ON INSULIN RESISTANCE IN PCOS

Association of triglycerides/high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio with insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome

Results of present study support that TG/HDL-C ratio may be a simple indicator of IR in PCOS patients which helps clinicians to identify IR in small centers, where the assays for insulin measurement are not available.

Insulin resistance and its relation to inflammatory status and serum lipids among young women with PCOS

IR is the hallmark of PCOS among young adolescent women and is associated with elevated CRP and triglyceride levels, which indicates that taking measures to increase insulin sensitivity, may help in altering dyslipidemia and inflammatory status, thereby reducing CVD risk among young women with PCOS.

Frequency of Insulin Resistance in Egyptian Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

The prevalence of IR in PCOS Egyptian women is about 46%, BMI was significantly high in IR compared to non-IR PCOS women and the hirsutism was significantly more common inIR compared toNon-IRPCOS women.

Insulin resistance in relation to clinical, endocrine and metabolic profile of infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Reducing body mass index and waist circumference may improve insulin resistance in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome and subsequent counseling is recommended to address the long-term risks of metabolic syndrome.

Lipid profile in relation to anthropometric indices and insulin resistance in overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Anthropometric characteristics (especially BMI and hip circum-ference) are more important parameters correlated to lipid profile than IR in overweight or obese PCOS patients, confirming the importance of early treat-ment of obesity to prevent dyslipidemia in the future.

Frequency of Insulin Resistance Among Infertile Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome at Zagazig University Hospitals

Clinically, the G/I ratio may be beneficial in identifying insulin-resistant PCOS women and choosing those most likely to benefit from therapy interventions that increase insulin sensitivity.

Body fat distribution and insulin resistance in healthy Asian Indians and Caucasians.

For comparable BMI and age, healthy AIs have physiologic markers for insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and increased cardiovascular risk, compared with Caucasians, and Alterations in body fat distribution--particularly increased visceral fat--may contribute to these abnormalities.
