Unlike that, cortisol levels after 1mg-DST positively correlated with the degree of IR in the NAPACA+PCOS group (Insulin R 0.51, 95%CI 0.03 – 0.80, P = 0.03, GIR R −0.48, 95%CI −0.79 – 0.02, P = 0.05, HOMA R 0.58, 95%CI 0.12 – 0.83, P = 0.017, QUICKI R −0.58, 95%CI −0.83 – −0.12, P = 0.017, MATSUDA R −0.67, 95%CI −0.90 – −0.14, P = 0.02) (Table 3). Here, INS is linked to polycystic ovary syndrome.
