TLDR
argeted intervention studies focused on prevention and treatment of glucose intolerance states in PCOS are warranted and some insights on potential factors responsible for individual susceptibility are discussed.Abstract:
The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common hyperandrogenic disorder affecting 4–7% of women, is often associated with metabolic alterations, chiefly insulin resistance and obesity. Based on available scientific evidence, PCOS should be regarded as an independent risk for the development of glucose intolerance states. This short review summarizes the available literature on the prevalence and incidence of impaired glucose tolerance and Type 2 diabetes in this disorder. In addition, some insights on potential factors responsible for individual susceptibility are discussed. Targeted intervention studies focused on prevention and treatment of glucose intolerance states in PCOS are warranted.read more

Insulin and the polycystic ovary syndrome.
TL;DR: Metformin is the primary insulin-sensitising drug to be used as an adjuvant therapy to lifestyle modification in patients with insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance, as well as in those referred to infertility treatment, and glucagon-like peptide 1 analogues has a potential therapeutic use in obese PCOS women.

TL;DR: Dairy therapy remains the first line of treatment of high blood cholesterol, and drug therapy is reserved for patients who are considered to be at high risk for CHD, and the fundamental approach to treatment is comparable.

TL;DR: It was agreed that there should not be an obligatory component, but that waist measurement would continue to be a useful preliminary screening tool, and a single set of cut points would be used for all components except waist circumference, for which further work is required.

Revised 2003 consensus on diagnostic criteria and long-term health risks related to polycystic ovary syndrome
TL;DR: Since the 1990 NIH-sponsored conference on polycystic ovary syndrome, it has become appreciated that the syndrome encompasses a broader spectrum of signs and symptoms of ovarian dysfunction than those defined by the original diagnostic criteria.

Men at risk: occupation and male infertility☆
TL;DR: There is accumulating evidence that workplace exposure to toxic substances contributes to male infertility, and men suffering from infertility problems may do well to look at their occupations, where exposure to certain substances may be a contributory factor.
