                            <p>Amaç: Polikistik over sendromunda (PCOS) görülen hipertansiyon ve insülin direnci gibi bozukluklardan sempatik aktivitedeki değişiklikler sorumludur. Sempatik deri cevabı (SDC), sempatik sinirler tarafından uyarılan sudomotor bezlerin aktivitesini yansıtır. Bu çalışmada, PKOS hastalarında insülin direnci ile SSR arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmayı amaçladık. Ayrıca antidiyabetik ajan metformin ile insülin direnci tedavisinin SSR üzerindeki etkisi araştırıldı.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya metformin tedavisi almayan insülin direnci olan 30 PKOS hastası ve 20 sağlıklı kadın dahil edildi. Tüm katılımcılara hormon, oral glukoz tolerans testi ve HOMA skoru (Homeostasis Model Assessment) ölçümleri yapıldı. SSR&#039;nin bir parametresi olan ve sempatik aktiviteyi yansıtan deri iletkenlik seviyesi (DİS), anksiyete-depresyon olmayan tüm katılımcılardan kaydedildi. PKOS hastalarında 6 ay süreyle 1500-2000 mg/gün metformin tedavisi sonrasında tüm ölçümler tekrarlandı.Bulgular: Testosteron ve androstenedion düzeyleri ile HOMA-insülin direnci değerleri PKOS&#039;lu hastalarda sağlıklı kontrollere göre anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p</p></trans-abstract>

The Sympathetic skin response (SSR) reflects the activity of the sudomotor glands stimulated by the sympathetic nerves. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance and SSR in PCOS patients. In addition, the effect of insulin resistance treatment with the antidiabetic agent metformin on SSR was explored.Material and Methods: Thirty PCOS patients with insulin resistance who did not receive metformin therapy and twenty healthy women were included in the study. Hormone, oral glucose tolerance test, and HOMA score (Homeostasis Model Assessment) measurements were performed on all participants. Skin conductance level (SCL) which is a parameter of SSR and reflects sympathetic activity was recorded from the all participants without anxiety-depression. All measurements were repeated after treatment with 1500-2000 mg/day metformin for 6 months in PCOS patients.Results: Testosterone, and androstenedione levels, HOMA-insulin resistance values were significantly higher in PCOS patients than healthy controls (p</p></abstract>
