Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome affects 10% of women and comes with a 2-3fold increased risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and fatty liver disease. Androgen excess, a cardinal feature of PCOS, has been implicated as a major contributor to metabolic risk. Adrenal-derived 11-oxygenated androgens represent an important component of PCOS-related androgen excess and are preferentially activated in adipose tissue. We aimed to identify PCOS sub-types with distinct androge...
