Abstract
Sonographic markers of ovarian morphology, but not hirsutism scores, predicted total T levels. However, the predictive value of ovarian morphology for total T differed by menstrual cycle status. That sonographic markers did not predict androgen levels in a diverse cohort of women with cycle irregularity suggests the potential for distinct variations in ovarian morphology for androgenic and nonandrogenic types of cycle irregularity. Overall, our findings support that an assessment of ovarian morphology may be helpful in reflecting total T levels.
