Key result
Insulin resistance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome was associated with higher levels of hs-CRP (5.9 vs 4.6 mg/L), TNF-α (9.2 vs 6.3 μg/L), and IL-6 (87.2 vs 51.5 ng/ml).

Insulin resistance links to higher inflammation in PCOS; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Observational (n=642)
Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin resistance exhibit higher levels of inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, TNF-α, IL-6) compared to those without insulin resistance.
Zhong et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Polycystic ovary syndrome (n=642). Insulin resistance vs. Non-insulin resistance was evaluated on Levels of hs-CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6. Insulin resistance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome was associated with higher levels of hs-CRP (5.9 vs 4.6 mg/L), TNF-α (9.2 vs 6.3 μg/L), and IL-6 (87.2 vs 51.5 ng/ml).
