      Context: We have previously described increased serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and stimulated insulin in daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), suggesting that these girls may have an altered ...
    • Relationship of serum adipocyte-derived proteins with insulin sensitivity and reproductive features in ... 
      Maliqueo Yevilao, Manuel; Galgani Fuentes, José; Pérez Bravo, Francisco; Echiburú López, Bárbara; Ladrón de Guevara, Amanda; Crisosto King, Nicolás; Sir Petermann, Lidia (Elsevier, 2012)
      Objective: To evaluate in a cross-sectional study adiponectin and leptin levels in prepubertal and pubertal daughters of women with PCOS and their relationship to insulin sensitivity and reproductive features. Study ...
    • Serum adiponectin and lipid concentrations in pregnant women with polycystic ovary syndrome 
      Sir Petermann, Lidia; Echiburú López, Bárbara; Maliqueo Yevilao, Manuel; Crisosto King, Nicolás; Sánchez, Fernando; Hitchsfeld, Catalina; Cárcamo, Michel; Amigo, Pablo; Pérez Bravo, Francisco (2007)
      BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the serum adiponectin and lipid concentrations in normal and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women during pregnancy in order to establish whether PCOS induces abnormal lipid and adiponectin ...
