Total number of 32 women with PCOS between them there were 22 thin and 10 obesesubjects was examined in this study. Control group consisted of 21 nonobese healthy women. The insulin action wasdetermined by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp. Normal insulin action found in the group of thin women withPCOS was comparable with that in healthy controls whereas insulin resistance was observed in obese ones. Aninverse relationship was found between insulin action and body mass index (r=0.62, p
