title: [Changes in carbohydrate metabolism of PCOS patients in cycle stimulated by rFSH].
abstract: 24 patients with clomiphene citrate-resistant PCOS were enrolled in the study. We used low-dose step up protocol of recombinant FSH administration. Ovulation induction by rFSH injection was commenced on 3 day of cycle, at a dose of 50 IU for 7 days initially. The dose was continued at 50 IU, and ultrasonographic scans were performed daily until a dominant follicle had developed to a size of at least 18-20 mm, at which point 5,000 IU of hCG was administrated. If no response was noted after 7 days, the dose was increased by 50 IU for a further 7 days. Insulin and glucose serum levels were determined 7 times: in days 3, 5, 8 of a cycle and later when diameter of ovarian follicle was 10, 12, 16 mm and in the day of hCG injection. Estradiol serum level was determined in 8 day of cycle and when diameter of ovarian follicle was 10, 12, 16 mm and in the day of hCG injection. BMI and WHR was determined in the day of admission to hospital.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The correlation between mean insulin level in the examined cycle and BMI and as well as the correlation between mean insulin level and WHR were determined. Mean level of serum glucose increased as the level of estradiol raised. No influence of growth level on insulin level was detected.
