A) Differences in adipose insulin resistance (adipose-IR) between normal-weight women with PCOS (N=10) and controls (N=18) (P<0.01). B) Significant negative and positive correlations of adipose-IR with and insulin sensitivity (Si) and serum total testosterone (T), respectively, in the same normal-weight women with PCOS and controls combined. Adipose-IR is the product of fasting circulating insulin (pmol/L) and total fatty acid (mmol/L) levels. Filled circles and columns, women with PCOS; Open circles and columns, controls. *, P < 0.01 by Student’s t-test [Modified from reference 6]. SI units: T ng/dL × 0.0347.
