Androgen Excess as a Major Determinant of Cardiovascular Risk in Women: Evidence from the Polycystic Ovary SyndromeActa Endo (Buc) 2011 7(4): 529-534 doi: 10.4183/aeb.2011.529
AbstractApart from endocrine and reproductive disturbances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) clusters several cardiovascular risk factors, mainly insulin resistance, obesity and dyslipidemia. In addition, androgen excess\r\nsignificantly contributes to enhanced vascular risk. Several mediators of endothelial dysfunction have been characterized lately in patients with PCOS, emerging as independent\r\npredictors of vascular abnormalities and potentially useful biomarkers of endothelial impairment in PCOS.
