When those PCOS women with both clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenism (raised FAI or serum T) were compared to those patients with clinical hyperandrogenism alone (normal FAI and serum T), women with PCOS and biochemical hyperandrogenism had features of a more metabolic phenotype with a greater BMI, waist and hip circumference (p < 0.05), and both higher insulin and insulin resistance levels (p < 0.001) (Table 2). Here, INS is linked to Insulin resistance.
