3 FIGURE 2 Individual fasting glucose:insulin ratio before and after 6 months of naltrexone treatment in seven women with PCOS and insulin resistance (G:I <4.5). Mean values (±SE) are also reported. ∗P<.01 vs. baseline values. Fruzzetti. Chronic naltrexone administration in PCOS. Fertil Steril 2002. Fertility and Sterility  , DOI: ( /S (02) )

4 FIGURE 3 Mean (±SE) of basal insulin levels after glucose load in healthy controls (open bar) and in seven women with PCOS and insulin resistance (G:I <4.5; shaded bar). Women with PCOS were studied before and during naltrexone treatment. Values are expressed as area under the curve (insulin AUC). ∗P<.05 patients with PCOS during treatment vs. baseline values. ∗∗P<.001 controls vs. patients with PCOS at baseline. Fruzzetti.
