Serum C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Levels and Insulin Resistance in Non-Obese Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and Effect of Bicalutamide on Hirsutism, CRP Levels and Insulin Resistance

Abstract

PCOS patients had insulin resistance and a high CRP level. Bicalutamide treatment did not influence insulin resistance and CRP level in PCOS, and this ineffectiveness of bicalutamide on CRP levels may be the result of insulin resistance and/or high prolactin levels at this time.
