“…The results of our study indicate 58% prevalence of metabolic syndrome in PCOS. This is greater than the observations of 42 % and 46 % prevalence made by Ramprasad Dey et al [12] and Glueck CJ et al [13] respectively. Two other studies had also shown the prevalence of metabolic syndrome 47.3% (Ehrmann's et al, 2006) [14] and 33.4% (Dokra's et al, 2005) [15] respectively among sampled women with PCOS.…”

Retinol-binding protein 4, leptin, and insulin resistance in idiopathic hirsutism and hirsute women with polycystic ovary syndrome

“…Leptin levels in groups I and II did not show a significant difference compared with the control group. Metabolic disturbances in PCOS including insulin resistance (IR), impaired glucose tolerance, hyperlipidemia, and obesity can also occur [4]. The RBP4 levels of group II (PCOS) were correlated positively with both age and BMI.…”
