The polycystic ovary syndrome per se is not associated with increased chronic inflammation - 0 views

  •  
    This study finds no association between PCOS and inflammation, when matched with age/BMI controls.  However, inflammation was associated with increased BMI.  Not all women with PCOS are overweight.  But, the majority are and this would contribute to inflammation and thus CVD.

Altered Cortisol Metabolism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Insulin Enhances 5α... - 0 views

  •  
    insulin, in women with PCOS, promotes increased 5-alpha reductase activity.  This results in a dysregulated HPA axis, promoting increased cortisol and androgen levels.

Increased 5α-Reductase Activity and Adrenocortical Drive in Women with Polycy... - 0 views

  •  
    increased 5-alpha reductase activity found in women with PCOS. Weight showed no variance.  Additionally, no change in 11-betaHSD activity was found.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome with Hyperandrogenism Is Characterized by an Increased Risk o... - 0 views

  •  
    PCOS with associated hyperandrogenism, is associated with increased risk of NAFLD versus PCOS without hyperandrogenism.

Black women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have increased risk for metabolic syn... - 0 views

  •  
    The medical field continues to be amazed that people are different. More, that different people groups are different.  This study found that black women with PCOS have an elevated risk of metabolic syndrome when compared to white women with PCOS.  Body weight was a variable that was controlled for.  This was a retrospective study.

Analysis of the vascular responses in a murine model of polycystic ovary syndrome - 0 views

  •  
    Animal model of PCOS provides insight to changes in vascular response.  In this animal mode, DHT resulted in a decrease in vasorelaxation of arterial endothelium.

Hyperhomocysteinaemia is as... [Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 2013] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Women with PCOS will have hyperandrogenism. This study finds an association between this increased androgen levels and hyperhomocysteinemia.

Statin Therapy Worsens Insulin Sensitivity in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCO... - 0 views

  •  
    statin therapy worsens insulin sensitivity in women with PCOS.  Statin therapy in this study did lower CRP, LDL and triglycerides.  Of note, DHEA decreased. This should be no surprise as statins are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors which reduces hormone synthesis from cholesterol.

Androgen activation by 5α-reductase in patients with PCOS - 0 views

  •  
    5alpha-reductase PCOS.  Insulin and obesity are associated with increased 5alpha-reductase activity.

Licorice reduces serum testosterone in heal... [Steroids. 2004 Oct-Nov] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Licorice root extract, also known as glycyrrhizic acid, found to quickly reduce endogenous Testosterone production in women.  The proposed mechanism is via inhibition of 17-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17-20 Lyase.  This is a good adjuvant in the treatment of PCOS.

Androgens and polycystic ovary syndrome. - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Only abstract available here. Exact complexity of the signaling involved in PCOS is yet to be determined, but increased androgens in women is proving to be a strong link between PCOS and metabolic dysfunction.

Spectrum of metabolic dysfunction in relationship with hyperandrogenemia in obese adole... - 0 views

  • subjects with hyperandrogenemic phenotypes displayed the greatest degree of hyperinsulinemia, β-cell function, and chronic inflammation
  • The rise in serum androgens is accompanied by excess insulin secretion, suggesting that insulin directly stimulates ovarian androgen production
  • The degree of hyperinsulinemia does not seem to be directly correlated with the development of HS
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • higher androgen and insulin levels stimulate hair growth
  • genetic and epigenetic changes may be involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS
  • HA has been identified as an important risk factor for MS and dyslipidemias in premenopausal women and adolescents
  • In our study, HA was found to be an independent risk factor for MS as previously reported by Coviello et al.
  • obesity and HA, and not insulin resistance, are the major determinants of chronic inflammation and risk of atherosclerosis in adolescents with PCOS
  • use of an inflammation marker may help identify high-risk females with PCOS
  • hyperandrogenemic PCOS phenotypes have greatest degree of hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and inflammation
  •  
    Elevated androgens are associated increasing insulin, insulin resistance, and inflammation (as measured by CRP).

  •  
    Increasing leptin levels in women with/without PCOS correlate positively with serum Testosterone levels.
