1 INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to find a correlation between insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3) and androgens: androstenedione (A), free testosterone (fT), and total testosterone (T), in two groups of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women: those with a body mass index (BMI) lower than 25 kg/m(2) and those with a BMI higher than 25 kg/m(2).

3 However, we identified very strong correlations between INSL3 and androstenedione (r = 0.48, p = 0.0115), and free (r = 0.44, p = 0.0108) and total testosterone (r = 0.46, p = 0.0057) in the PCOS subgroup with a BMI of < 25 kg/m(2). Androstenedione insulin like 3 Homo sapiens
