Context: Insulin resistance and chronic low level inflammation are often present in women with polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS).Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of hyperglycemia on nuclear factor kappa B (NF kappa B) activation and inhibitory kappa B (I kappa B) from mononuclear cells (MNC) in PCOS.Design and Setting: This was a prospective controlled study conducted at an academic medical center.Patients: The study population consisted of 16 reproductive-age women with PCOS ( eight lean, eight obese) and 16 age- and body composition-matched controls ( eight lean, eight obese).Main Outcome Measures: Insulin sensitivity ( IS) was derived from a 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (ISOGTT). Intranuclear NF kappa B and I kappa B protein expression were quantitated from MNC obtained from blood drawn fasting and 2 h after glucose ingestion.Results: ISOGTT was lower in PCOS compared with controls (3.3 +/- 0.3 vs. 6.4 +/- 0.9, P < 0.004). The percent change in intranuclear NF kappa B was higher in lean and obese PCOS compared with lean controls (42.5 +/- 19.1 and 54.5 +/- 12.5 vs. - 14.1 +/- 10.9, P < 0.006). The percent change in intranuclear NF kappa B correlated positively with 2-h postglucose ingestion levels ( r = 0.37; P < 0.04) and plasma testosterone ( r = 0.49; P < 0.006) and correlated negatively with ISOGTT ( r = 0.39; P < 0.04). The percent change in I kappa B was lower in lean and obese PCOS compared with lean controls ( - 22.3 +/- 3.2 and - 17.0 +/- 5.0 vs. 8.4 +/- 11.8, P < 0.02).Conclusion: In response to hyperglycemia, intranuclear NF kappa B increases and I kappa B decreases in MNC of women with PCOS independent of obesity. This may represent a cardinal inflammatory signal that contributes to the induction of insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism in PCOS.
