Adipokines, insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 levels, and insulin sensitivity in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Hyejin Lee, Jee-Young Oh, Yeon-Ah Sung
Korean J Intern Med. 2013;28(4):456-463. Published online July 1, 2013
Background/AimsMany women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exhibit insulin resistance. Adipose tissue plays an important role in insulin resistance, and adipokines including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and adiponectin are altered in PCOS. Insulin-like growth factor bin..
