Insulin dynamics in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome and normal glucose tolerance across categories of body mass index.

Insulin dynamics in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome and normal glucose tolerance across categories of body mass index.

BACKGROUND: Evidence favours insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia as the predominant, perhaps primary, defects in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
