- PCOS = polycystic ovary syndrome; BMI = body mass index; SHBG = sex hormone binding globulin; IGT = intolerance of 75 gm oral glucose tolerance test; Glucose/insulin ratio = fasting glucose (mg/dl)/fasting insulin (uU/ml); AGT = abnormal glucose tolerance; HOMAIR(Homeostasis model assessment index for insulin resistance) = fasting insulin (uU/ml) × fasting glucose (mg/dl)/405
