Abstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder, leading to paramenia and infertility in women. The incidence of the impaired glucose tolerance is high in PCOS population and it is closely related to type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Insulin resistance(IR) is the common pathophysiological basis in both PCOS and T2DM, but the pathogenesis and tissue?-speciality of IR are different. It could offer the reliable evidence for preventing long?-term complications of PCOS, to compare abnormal glucose tolerance in PCOS and T2DM.

Key words: Polycystic ovary syndrome, Insulin resistance, Diabetes mellitus, type 2, Metabolic diseases
