Diagnosis and Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a comprehensive clinical reference work for primary care physicians, internists, general endocrinologists, obstetricians, gynecologists and students. PCOS is a common but frequently misdiagnosed disease. Many symptoms can be alleviated by early intervention and effective management. Prominent endocrinologists are gathered to detail current research and treatment in this metabolic disorder, affecting a growing population. The chapters are comprehensive, providing cutting edge knowledge on pathogenesis, manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of PCOS. Each chapter will be concise concluding with cogent practice points. The variety of medical issues presenting in PCOS patients result in late referrals or in- appropriate advice. This title will be a tool in a further understanding of the metabolic and genetic basis of PCOS, while providing management strategies.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 12 to 21% of Australian reproductive-aged women and is a major public health concern (1-5). Whilst reproductive features (anovulation, infertility) are prominent, PCOS also has major metabolic [obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), cardiovascular disease risk factors] and psychological features (6-8). Obesity is a major chronic disease, with rising prevalence and diverse health impacts. The interplay between PCOS and weight contributes to the long-term consequences of PCOS, but is not well understood. Women with PCOS demonstrate insulin resistance (IR), which leads to adverse health consequences, both independent of and exacerbated by obesity. Here, I explore the poorly understood interplay between PCOS, IR, metabolic complications and weight.My clinical research aims to assess prevalence and severity of IR in PCOS and explore novel markers of IR: Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor (PEDF) and vitamin D. Women with PCOS were more insulin resistant than body mass index (BMI)-matched controls. IR was present in 75% of lean women with PCOS, 62% of overweight controls and 95% of overweight women with PCOS. IR was exacerbated by increased BMI. PEDF was not elevated in PCOS, was not associated with IR and was not reduced by exercise training, despite improved IR. It was mainly obesity related and is not a useful marker of IR. Despite similar adiposity, vitamin D levels were lower in overweight women with PCOS compared with overweight controls. Vitamin D was associated with IR in PCOS, but not in the non-PCOS group. PCOS is an insulin resistant state with intrinsic IR, exacerbated by lifestyle/obesity mediated extrinsic IR. Measurement of IR remains a challenge; novel simple markers of IR are needed. New interventions to manage IR, including potentially vitamin D, need to be studied.My epidemiological research examines the natural history of PCOS and the relationship between PCOS, weight and complications. Extensive data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) was analysed to explore the prevalence of PCOS, the impact of obesity and relationship to reproductive and metabolic complications. We found that weight, body mass index (BMI) and weight gain over 10 years was higher in women reporting PCOS compared to those not reporting PCOS. BMI was the key predictor of PCOS status. Women with PCOS reported less contraception use and higher rates of trying to conceive, higher rates of infertility and use of fertility treatment including ovulation induction, but not increased in-vitro fertilisation. Reported pregnancy loss was higher in PCOS (related to fertility treatment and BMI, but not PCOS per se). The number of children per woman was similar in PCOS and non-PCOS groups, albeit with higher rates of fertility treatment. After conception and delivery, high BMI was negatively correlated with breastfeeding, suggesting the need for greater lactation support for overweight women. PCOS alone does not appear to impact on breastfeeding. PCOS was associated with higher prevalence of gestational diabetes and T2DM, independent of BMI. This suggests that all women with PCOS should be screened pre-conception or early in pregnancy, during pregnancy and in non-pregnant states for gestational diabetes and T2DM. PCOS status was not associated with hypertension, however BMI was, highlighting the need for blood pressure monitoring in overweight and obese women.This thesis addresses key gaps in our understanding of the natural history of PCOS. It provides important insight into aetiology and natural history of PCOS and advances the area by providing greater understanding of the interplay between BMI and PCOS and related complications.

Hyperandrogenism profoundly affects women’s lives from lowering self-esteem to changing cognition and affective motivation. The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common androgen excess disorder worldwide. While it is not the focus of this book, some aspects are discussed. The aim of this book is to improve understanding of androgen excess and its impact on several conditions. Topics include development of adipose tissue in females, insulin sensitivity, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and Cushing’s disease/syndrome. There is also a discussion of PCOS with emphasis on in utero origins and specific genetic and epigenetic factors. This book provides a wealth of relevant information for every endocrinologist and gynecologist who wants to broaden their knowledge of androgens in various conditions.

The isolation of leptin in 1994 and its characterization as a factor influencing appetite, energy balance, and adiposity, immediately thrust the polypeptide into the rapidly growing body of literature centered on the physiology of obesity. The growing clinical awareness of obesity as a major health risk in developed societies dovetailed perfectly with any of a number of roles that leptin might play in this abenant physiological condition. Almost unnoticed amidst the excitement generated by early leptin publications was the suggestion that the "fat hormone" might also regulate a wide range of systems and events important to reproduction, including pubertal development, gonadal endocrinology, fettility, and pregnancy. Recognizing this potential, a relatively small cadre of researchers began to examine leptin specifically as a reproductive hormone, thus creating a new and fertile field of investigation. Interest in this area has since gained momentum and an increased number of participants have now made significant contributions to our understanding of many leptin-related mechanisms that are relevant to reproductive biology. Leptin and Reproduction is the first major volume to specifically address leptin as a reproductive hormone and closely examines the advances made in the short time since this field of interest developed. Preeminent researchers ti'om many of the subdisciplines working within this area present a welcomed compendium of the wealth of related literature and voice novel interpretations of cun'ent advances.
