Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a systemic endocrine disorder characterized by perturbations in both androgen and insulin signaling pathways that result in anovulatory infertility and metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to elucidate insulin signaling in the PCOS ovary using a mouse model that develops both the metabolic and reproductive manifestations of PCOS due to chronic postnatal dihydrotestosterone exposure. PCOS mice developed anovulation, cystic follicles, systemic insulin resistance
