Abstract:

Insulin resistance (IR) characterizes not only a universal clinical feature of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but also serves a significant role in its pathophysiology. PCOS and IR are closely related and mutually cause each other. The interaction between IR and PCOS creates a detrimental cycle. There was substantial progress in the study of microRNAs (miRNAs) roles in PCOS-linked metabolic disturbances. The degree of miRNAs expression is intrinsically associated with PCOS-IR. In this paper, we discuss the miRNAs-related etiopathogenesis of PCOS-IR.
