Association of Insulin Resistance and Elevated Androgen Levels with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): A Review of Literature
Open accessAbstract
The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the disease featured by elevated levels of androgens, ovulatory dysfunction, and morphological abnormalities. At reproductive stage of women, the rate of PCOS occurrence is measured as 6–10% and the prevalence rate may be double. There are different pathophysiological factors involved in PCOS, and they play a major role in various abnormalities in individual patient. It is clear that there is noteworthy elevation of androgen in PCOS, causing substantial misery and infertility problems. The overexposure of androgen is directly linked with insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia. It has been reported previously that PCOS is related to cardiac metabolic miseries and potently increases the risk of heart diseases. Endometrial cancer is also a serious concern which is reported with exceedingly high incidence in women with PCOS. However, the overexposure of androgen has direct and specific influence on the development of insulin resistance. Although many factors are involved, resistance to the insulin and enhanced level of androgen are considered the major causes of PCOS. In the present review, we have focused on the pathophysiology and major revolutions of insulin resistance and excessive levels of androgen in females with PCOS.

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.
