Elevated serum anti-mullerian hormone in adolescent and young adult Chinese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
TL;DR: Serum AMH measurement offers a relatively poor diagnostic potency with a sensitivity of 61.7% and a specificity of 70% at 8 ng/mL in adolescent and young adult Chinese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and metabolic features of polycystic ovary syndrome among Chinese adolescents.
TL;DR: Chinese adolescents with PCos manifest clinical and metabolic features similar to those of adult Chinese women with PCOS except for the increased prevalence of hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Common menstrual problems in adolescence
TL;DR: This article focuses on a practical approach to managing menorrhagia, dysmenorrhoea, oligomenor rhoea and premenstrual syndrome and reviews the literature on this topic.

TL;DR: The ob gene product, leptin, is an important circulating signal for the regulation of body weight and a series of leptin-alkaline phosphatase (AP) fusion proteins as well as [125I]leptin fusion proteins were generated to identify high affinity leptin-binding sites in the mouse choroid plexus.

Fetal and infant growth and impaired glucose tolerance at age 64.
C. N. Hales,David J.P. Barker,Penelope M.S. Clark,Lorna Cox,Caroline H.D. Fall,Clive Osmond,P D Winter +6 more
TL;DR: Reduced growth in early life is strongly linked with impaired glucose tolerance and non-insulin dependent diabetes and reduced early growth is also related to a raised plasma concentration of 32-33 split proinsulin, which is interpreted as a sign of beta cell dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin resistance and the polycystic ovary syndrome: mechanism and implications for pathogenesis.
TL;DR: Since PCOS usually has a menarchal age of onset, this makes it a particularly appropriate disorder in which to examine the ontogeny of defects in carbohydrate metabolism and for ascertaining large three-generation kindreds for positional cloning studies to identify NIDDM genes.

Polycystic ovary syndrome: the spectrum of the disorder in 1741 patients.

TL;DR: Describing data from the largest reported series of women with PCOS enables the development of a management-orientated approach to the syndrome.

Polycystic ovaries--a common finding in normal women.
TL;DR: The prevalence of polycystic ovaries (PCO) in normal women of reproductive age was determined by pelvic ultrasound scanning of 257 volunteers who considered themselves to be normal and who had not sought treatment for menstrual disturbances, infertility, or hirsutism, which suggest that PCO in women who consider themselves toBe normal is part of the same clinical spectrum as the classic Stein-Leventhal syndrome.
