Low serum  25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are associated with insulin 
resistance and  obesity in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Exp Clin Endocrinol  Diabetes. 2006 Nov;114(10):577-83

The aim of this study was to  investigate the effect of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 
(25-OH-VD) on metabolic parameters  and IR in PCOS.  Women with hypovitaminosis 
D (<9 ng/ml) had higher mean  BMI, indices of IR and leptin levels compared 
to women with normal serum  levels.  The study concluded that in PCOS women, 
low 25-OH-VD levels are  associated with obesity and insulin resistance but not 
with PCOS per se.
