title: Insulin levels, insulin resistance, and leptin levels are not associated with the development of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
abstract: Insulin levels, insulin resistance, and leptin levels were evaluated in 47 women who developed ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) after participation in assisted reproduction technologies programs and in 47 matched controls who did not develop such a complication. Analysis of the results in relation to underlying polycystic ovarian syndrome and hyperinsulinemia revealed no association of insulin levels, insulin resistance, and leptin levels with the development of OHSS.
