Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common female endocrinopathy, affecting 5-10% of the female population. It involves overproduction of ovarian androgens leading to a heterogeneous range of symptoms including hirsutism, acne, anovulation and infertility. Hyperinsulinaemia, exacerbated by obesity, is often a key feature.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a complex endocrine disorder of hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction that presents with anovulation, hirsutism and infertility. Women with PCOS have increased risk for developing NIDDM, dyslipidemia and premature cardiovascular disease. Because of its vague presentation and potential for numerous complications, PCOS should be

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a syndrome and not a disease. It reflects multiple potential etiologies and variable clinical presentations that are reviewed in this article. In addition to menstrual dysfunction and hyperandrogenism, women with polycystic ovary syndrome also may have hypothalamic-pituitary abnormalities, polycystic ovaries on pelvic ...

The adrenal and polycystic ovary syndrome
Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2007Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders characterized by androgen excess, oligo-ovulation and polycystic ovaries. Although ovaries are the main source of increased androgens in the syndrome, between 20 and 30% of patients with PCOS have adrenal androgen (AA) excess, detectable primarily by elevated ...

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2016Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a familial heterogeneous disorder affecting 6% to 10% of reproductive-age women. The use of criteria developed for adult women is problematic for the adolescent girl because the clinical features associated with PCOS are normal pubertal events.

Metabolomics in polycystic ovary syndrome
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2014The association of androgen excess with abdominal adiposity, insulin resistance and metabolic derangements characterize many patients with PCOS. However, the mechanisms underlying these associations are not entirely understood, indicating the need for discovery of the origin of these metabolic alterations, and of new metabolic biomarkers for PCOS. This
