Implication

Randomized trial evaluates metabolic effects of hormonal treatment in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, highlighting body fat distribution implications.

Key Points

This study investigates the relationship between anthropometric variables and metabolic profiles in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCO).
Examined anthropometric, endocrine, and metabolic variables in women with PCO and normal controls.
Compared obese and non-obese PCO women, alongside control women of equal body fat mass.
Administered ethinyl estradiol plus desogestrel over 6 months to assess changes in clinical symptoms and metabolic markers.
Obese PCO women had higher plasma insulin values than non-obese PCO women.
Both PCO groups showed higher blood pressure and plasma triglycerides compared to controls with similar body fat levels.
Hormonal treatment reduced clinical androgenic symptoms but did not normalize body composition or metabolism.
