One of the pathways to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) starts with an early-life sequence of prenatal growth restraint followed by catch-up of weight during infancy. This sequence results by mid-childhood in a pre-PCOS state including hyperinsulinemia, a low-grade proinflammatory state, an amplified adrenarche (with or without precocious pubarche) and an adipose body composition even in the absence of obesity. This variant of pre-PCOS and PCOS responds well to intervention with metformin.
