hirsutism/obesity

Real-time ultrasonography of the pelvic organs was performed on 151 girls with various complete and incomplete forms of precocious puberty, 20 girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, 20 with hirsutism, 18 with obesity, and 133 age-matched normal girls. Uterine and ovarian volumes were calculated

OBJECTIVE Hirsutism is one of the component of polycystic ovary syndrome. According to the Rotterdam Consensus has concluded that principially obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) should be evaluated for the metabolic syndrome. The aim of the present study was to investigate the insulin

Obesity, oligomenorrhea, and hirsutism are frequently associated with high plasma androgen levels and/or low testosterone-binding globulin (TEBG) levels. Studied have been undertaken to determine the extent to which each of these clinical features may be related to this hormonal profile. Indexes of

The insulin resistance of 4 nonobese and 8 obese patients with polycystic ovaries, hirsutism and benign acanthosis nigricans, and of 6 'obese normal' apart from obesity and 10 normal female subjects was evaluated by means of an intravenous insulin tolerance test and by measuring basal and insulin

OBJECTIVE To compare the pubertal development, the hormonal profiles and the prevalence of hirsutism and menstrual disorders in obese adolescent girls and adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS Data were collected from 96 obese adolescent girls and 78 adolescent girls with

A correlation between the serum androgen levels and the distribution pattern of adipose tissue as well as occurrence of complications of obesity were investigated in 24 obese women with and without hirsutism. The hirsute women (n = 12) displayed higher androgen levels than the women without

UNASSIGNED Hirsutism is a common disorder that has remarkable physical and mental effects on individuals. No appropriate diet has yet specified for individuals with hirsutism. The present study was carried out to examine the effect of high-fibre, low-caloric balanced diet on some related hormone

Background & aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin D treatment on androgen levels and hirsutism scores in overweight women with PCOS. Methods:

19-year-old hirsute woman with obesity, skin lesions with features of acanthosis nigricans around neck, armpits, thoracic cage and wrists escalating for couple of months, elevated testosterone and insulin plasma levels was admitted to hospital to perform diagnostic approach. The final diagnosis was

OBJECTIVE Insulin resistance is associated with serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. We aimed to evaluate the effect of bicalutamide on insulin resistance and serum CRP levels in non-obese polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients. METHODS 40 non-obese patients (BMI < or =25 kg/m2) with PCOS

The relationship between adipose tissue distribution, androgen levels, and metabolic complications of obesity was studied in 20 hirsute and 20 nonhirsute obese premenopausal women. The group of hirsute women showed preferentially an upper body type of obesity as assessed by the waist-to-hip ratio
