Abstract
RESULTS
The values of E2/T and E2/A indexes were significantly lower in the PCOS than Non-PCOS subjects, but did not differ significantly between the obese and normal weight groups. The lowest E2/T and E2/A values were observed in the normal weight PCOS group. Multivariable regression analyses revealed that the presence of PCOS was the major factor affecting both the log10 E2/T (β = -0.16) and log10 E2/A (β = -0.15) indexes. In addition, log10 E2/A index variability was explained by percentage of body fat (β = 0.57). HOMA-IR was not among the explanatory factors in all above models.
