Metabolic aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome

Seminars in Reproductive Endocrinology
R A Wild

Abstract

The metabolic aberrations in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) demand a shift in clinical care from symptom driven to the prevention of chronic disease. The onset of carbohydrate intolerance or diabetes may be accelerated. The lipoprotein lipid profiles are compatible with the effects of insulin resistance. Disturbed cholesterol and triglyceride metabolism may eventuate in premature cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

CV Disorders & Type 2 Diabetes

This feed focuses on the association of cardiovascular diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes.
