Our studies suggest that 60% of obese peripubertal girls have androgen excess, a precursor to polycystic ovary syndrome. Since the ovary is a major source of androgens in women, we studied steroid levels after dexamethasone (DEX) and after recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (r-hCG) in girls to...
