Female functional androgenization syndrome (FAS) is subdivided into 4 groups corresponding to their predominant organ pathology: I (ovary), II (adrenal gland), III (ovary, adipose tissue, liver, pancreas) and IV (residual dysfunctions). Group-specific variable clusters are defined by BMI, hormones, glucose and insulin during oral glucose loading test (OGLT: 0-, 1 h-, 2 h-values), and sonographic ovarian morphology. Abdominal circumference (AC), serum lipids, and blood pressure are used for individual characterization. We investigated which tests assess best the prevalence of pathologic glucose and insulin dynamics in androgenized women.
89 FAS patients were consecutively enrolled. Including a control (n=16), prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) described by OGLT, HOMA-IR, QUICKI, insulin sensitivity index (ISI) or AUC2h-insulin was analyzed. Uni- and multivariate correlation between .. View More»
