Insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome: decreased expression of GLUT-4 glucose transporters in adipocytes

1 Feb 1993

Abstract excerpt

We have found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have decreased sensitivity and responsiveness to insulin. The present study was performed to determine whether this impaired insulin responsiveness was associated with diminished GLUT-4 glucose transporter content in adipocytes. Insulin-stimulated glucose transport and GLUT-4 abundance were measured in abdominal adipocytes from obese (n = 9) and lean...
