dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the androgenic profile of women with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. STUDY DESIGN: This case-control study evaluated the clinical, hormonal and ultrasonographic characteristics of women of reproductive age with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and compared them with those of age- and weight-matched controls. Radioimmunoassays were used for total testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and androstenedione. Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) were analyzed by fluoroimmunoassays. Ovarian appearance and volume were assessed by transvaginal or transabdominal ultrasonography. RESULTS: The prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome was higher in diabetic patients than in the general population as reported earlier. Hirsutism was also more prevalent in diabetic patients (p < 0.05). The serum levels of FSH, LH, estradiol, total testosterone, androstenedione and DHEAS were significantly higher in diabetic patients than in the control group (p < 0.05). In contrast, the levels of SHBG were lower in diabetic patients (p < 0.05). The rates of ultrasonographically apparent polycystic ovaries and greater ovarian volumes were also higher in diabetic patients (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Women with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus seem to have biochemical and clinical hyperandrogenism when compared with nondiabetic controls.en_US
