ABSTRACT

Hyperinsulinemia has been reported to be associated with polycystic ovaries. The prevalence of hyperinsulinemia in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and their female members was studied. The results have indicated that hyperinsulinemia could be a factor amplifying leutinizing hormone (LH) dependent androgen secretion in hyperadrogenised patients with PCOS and their female family members.
