Abstract

CONTEXT: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with insulin resistance (IR) and the metabolic syndrome; however, the cardiovascular (CV) manifestations of PCOS remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the relationships between IR, metabolic parameters, androgens, and markers of early CV disease in PCOS. DESIGN: We conducted an observational study examining noninvasive markers of early CV disease in women with PCOS including structural [carotid intimal media thickness (IMT)] and functional measures (arterial function with pulse wave velocity and endothelial function with brachial arterial flow-mediated vasodilation). Metabolic parameters included insulin and glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test and lipid and androgen levels. SETTING: Participants were recruited from the general community. PATIENTS: Eighty overweight women with PCOS who were nonsmokers and not on oral contraceptives or other medications known to affect IR participated in the study. RESULTS: Stepwise regression analysis showed that after adjustment for age and body mass index, IMT was significantly correlated with blood pressure (BP) load (P = 0.03) and inversely with dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) (P = 0.01). After correction for androgen status, IMT was correlated with fasting glucose and area under curve (AUC) insulin. Flow-mediated vasodilation was inversely related to lipids (P = 0.02), whereas pulse wave velocity was related to BP (P < 0.001), AUC insulin (P = 0.04), and AUC glucose (P = 0.035). CONCLUSION: In overweight women with PCOS, insulin resistance and BP interacted negatively with arterial structural and functional measures. DHEAS correlated inversely with arterial structure, suggesting possible cardioprotective effects of endogenous DHEAS in women with PCOS. Additional research is needed to clarify these findings.

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.
