SERUM C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) IS RELATED TO AGE AND BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) IN PATIENTS WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS) BUT NOT TO INSULIN SENSITIVITY

Laing I , Yates A , Mather E , Pickersgill M

PCOS is associated with increased biochemical risk markers for cardiovascular disease, particularly low HDL cholesterol and increased triglycerides. There is accelerated progression to type 2 diabetes and hypertension in middle age. These biochemical abnormalities associate with insulin resistance which is present to a greater extent than can be explained by obesity alone. Notwithstanding, hard endpoint data in terms of increased cardiovascular mortality remains elusive. Infla...
