Adrenal function during childhood and puberty in daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Endocrine Society, 2009)Context: In some patients, PCOS may develop as a consequence of an exaggerated adrenarche during pubertal development. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess adrenal function during childhood and pubertal development ... -
Biochemical markers and methods to assess insulin resistance in normal, obese and hyperandrogenic women Marcadores bioquímicos y métodos de cuantificación de insulinorresistencia en mujeres normales, obesas e hiperandrogénicas
(1997)Background: Euglycemic or hyperglycemic clamp and the frequently sampled iv glucose tolerance test are the most frequently used methods to assess insulin resistance. However, both are expensive and cumbersome. Aim: To ... -
Brief report: Hormonal profile in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome with or without type 1 diabetes mellitus
(Endocrine Society, 2007)Context: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels are increased in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), but it is not known whether other forms of hyperandrogenism, such as PCOS observed in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus ... -
CAG repeat polymorphism of androgen receptor gene and X-chromosome inactivation in daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): Relationship with endocrine and metabolic parameters
(2012)Background: The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hyperandrogenic disorder that arise from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Aim: To assess the role of the androgen receptor (AR) CAG repeat polymorphism ... -
Clomiphene citrate and ovulation induction
(2002)Clomiphene can be used to treat anovulation due to hypothalamus or pituitary gland dysfunction, and it normalizes the luteal phase in stimulated patients. It can be used to estimate ovarian follicle reserve, and may be ... -
Do androgens modulate luteinizing hormone secretion in women? ¿Modulan los andrógenos la secreción de hormona luteinizante en mujeres?
(1997)In hyperandrogenic states an abnormal pattern of LH secretion in women is observed, which is presumed to result from a direct action of androgen or its conversion to estrogen. Two strategies are available to study the ... -
Early metabolic derangements in daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Endocrine Society, 2007)Context: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a familial endocrine-metabolic dysfunction, increasingly recognized in adolescent girls with hyperandrogenism. However, it is difficult to establish whether the metabolic ... -
Effects of metformin on insulin resistance in obese and hyperandrogenic women Efecto de la metformina sobre la resistencia insulínica en mujeres obesas y obesas hiperandrogénicas
(1997)Background: Metformin is a biguanide often used in obese diabetics that improves tissue sensitivity to insulin. Aim: To assess the effects of metformin on tissue insulin sensitivity in obese and hyperandrogenic women. ... -

Enlarged adipocytes in subcutaneous adipose tissue associated to hyperandrogenism and visceral adipose tissue volume in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Elsevier Science INC, 2018)Context Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an androgen excess disorder associated with obesity and adipose tissue disturbances. Our aim was to evaluate gene expression of adipocytokines and adipocyte characteristics in ... -
Gonadal function in low birth weight infants: A pilot study
(Freund Publishing House Ltd, 2007)Objective: To evaluate gonadal function and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) serum concentrations during the first 3 months of life in low birth weight (low-BW) and normal birth weight (normal-BW) infants. Infants: Twenty ... -
Hirsutism and oligomenorrhea are appropriate screening criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)We evaluated the association of hirsutism and oligomenorrhea (persistent menstrual cycles > 45 days) as screening criteria for the detection of biochemical hyperandrogenism (BH) and polycystic ovaries (PCOM) during ... -
II Consenso de la Sociedad Chilena de Endocrinología y Diabetes sobre resistencia a la insulina
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2015)Insulin resistance is a prevalent condition commonly associated with unhealthy lifestyles. It affects several metabolic pathways, increasing risk of abnormalities at different organ levels. Thus, diverse medical specialties ... -
Increased anti-müllerian hormone serum concentrations in prepubertal daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Endocrine Society, 2006)Context: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by the granulosa cells and reflects follicular development. Adult women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have increased levels of AMH associated with an excessive ... -
Insulin resistance and polycystic ovary syndrome through life
(2012)The heterogeneity of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) emphasizes the need for a consensual review of the data concerning its diagnosis and treatment and for determination of the relationship between the development of PCOS ... -
Metabolic and reproductive features before and during puberty in daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Endocrine Society, 2009)Context: A significant proportion of the first-degree female relatives of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may be at risk for developing PCOS. However, it is not known at which stage of pubertal development the ... -
Metabolic profile in sons of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Endocrine Society, 2008)Context: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine-metabolic disorder with strong familial aggregation. It has been demonstrated that parents and brothers of PCOS women exhibit insulin resistance and related ... -
