PCOS, Mood, and Metformin: New Data on MetSyn.


Listen Later

Metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) is a cluster of conditions, such as increase in waist circumference, dyslipidemia (elevated triglyceride levels and reduced HDL), increased blood pressure, and increased fasting blood sugar levels that is related to insulin resistance, diabetes, and elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. Women with PCOS have a significantly higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) compared to the general population, with studies indicating a prevalence of around 43-47% in PCOS women.
