Abstract

Controversial data were reported concerning fasting ghrelin (decreased, normal or elevated) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of our study was to clarify ghrelin levels in non-obese, overweight, and obese PCOS patients; to investigate the effect of acute insulin infusion on ghrelin in PCOS as a chronic insulin-resistant state, with and without the impact of obesity, and to examine ghrelin-androgen interaction. In that order, we evaluated 1) ghrelin levels among 8 nonobese patients with PCOS [body mass index (BMI): 20.52+/-1.31 kg/m2], 8 overweight and obese patients with PCOS (BMI: 34.36+/-6.53 kg/m2) and their respective controls, 2) ghrelin suppression during euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, and 3) ghrelin-androgen interrelationship. After overnight fast, 2-h euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, was performed in all investigated women. Fasting ghrelin was significantly lower in non-obese PCOS than in controls (64.74+/-25.69 vs 108.36+/-52.60; p<0.05) as well as in overweight and obese PCOS in comparison with controls (38.71+/-14.18 vs 98.77+/-40.49; p<0.05). Insulin infusion significantly suppressed ghrelin in all subgroups of investigated women. Analysis of variance for repeatable measures confirmed that there was no significant difference in pattern of response between PCOS and controls. In conclusion, women with PCOS had lower fasting ghrelin and decreased insulin sensitivity independently of their BMI, compared to the controls. In addition, there were no differences between fasting ghrelin levels among non-obese, overweight, and obese women with PCOS. During euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, ghrelin decreased in all studied groups to a similar extent, implying that, compared to chronic hyperinsulinemia, acute hyperinsulinemia reduces ghrelin levels independently of the degree of insulin resistance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
