Vitamin D and Insulin Resistance in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia-a Commentary and Natural Expansion

Abstract

Vitamin D & T2DM-Related Disorders Associated with IRIt is now settled science that PCOS is IR-associated and is a metabolic syndrome component [3]. Insulin-sensitizing interventions e.g., weight loss, exercise, metformin, thiazolidinediones, and inositol, were reported to clinically and biochemically ameliorate PCOS [3]. Vitamin D is a putative insulin sensitizer [1,4]. While less appreciated, CAH, like PCOS, is IR-associated and, as will be discussed,
