Abstract:
The prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in fertile aged women is about 6%. Many studies show that insulin resistance in PCOS is closely associated with metabolic disorders, which may even potentially increases the risk for cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, metabolic disorders in PCOS should be controlled more actively.
