Abstract
Girls at high risk of developing PCOS display increased adiposity and 17-OHP levels, but are mainly characterized by global insulin resistance and resistance to insulin-induced suppression of lipolysis that were independent of adiposity and 17-OHP levels. Therefore, genetic predisposition to PCOS may be related to early insulin resistance and adipocyte dysfunction.
