摘要
Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with profound insulin resistance, conferring an approximately 7-fold increased risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus in premenopausal women. The mechanisms of insulin resistance in PCOS are distinct from those in obesity and in typical type 2 diabetes mellitus. There also is evidence for pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction in PCOS that can occur independent of obesity and glucose intolerance. Insulin resistance contributes to the reproductive abnormalities of PCOS.
