INS and polycystic ovary syndrome: Furthermore hsCRP levels were positively correlated with waist circumference (r = 0.46, P < 0.01), BMI (r = 0.46, P < 0.01), SBP (r = 0.42, P < 0.05) and DBP (r = 0.39, P < 0.05), and tended to be negatively correlated with insulin-mediated glucose uptake (r = -0.31, P = 0.07) in women with PCOS.
