D. Kiddy,Diana Hamilton-Fairley,A. Bush,Frances Short,V. Anyaoku,Michael J. Reed,Stephen Franks +6 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of long‐term calorie restriction on clinical as well as biochemical abnormalities in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement in Endocrine and Ovarian Function During Dietary Treatment of Obese Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
D. Kiddy,Diana Hamilton-Fairley,A. Bush,Frances Short,V. Anyaoku,Michael J. Reed,Stephen Franks +6 more
TL;DR: Moderate weight loss during long-term calorie restriction is associated with a marked clinical improvement which reflects the reduction in insulin concentrations and reciprocal changes in SHBG, and may be consequent upon an increase in insulin sensitivity which, directly or indirectly, affects ovarian function.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship of insulin insensitivity to menstrual pattern in women with hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries.
Stephen Robinson,D. Kiddy,S. V. Gelding,D Willis,R. Niththyananthan,A. Bush,Desmond G. Johnston,Steve Franks +7 more
TL;DR: Examination of the relationship between insulin sensitivity and menstrual pattern in women with PCO found that circulating insulin concentrations are normal in hyperandrogenaemic women with regular cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dyslipidaemia is associated with insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovaries
Stephen Robinson,A. D. Henderson,S. V. Gelding,D. Kiddy,R. Niththyananthan,A. Bush,William Richmond,Desmond G. Johnston,Steve Franks +8 more
TL;DR: Assessment of lipids and lipoproteins in women with PCOS is compared with weight matched controls, and the findings are related to indices of insulin secretion and action, and to menstrual history.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of nutrition and insulin in the regulation of sex hormone binding globulin.
TL;DR: It was found that obese women with PCOS were more likely to be anovulatory and had a higher prevalence of hirsutism than the non-obese subgroup, and sex hormone binding globulin levels were significantly lower, and free testosterone correspondingly higher, in obese women.
