Serum androgen concentrations are high in females with PCOS

Mean serum concentrations of testosterone (pg/mL), androstenedione (pg/mL), and DHEAS (mcg/mL) in 10 females without PCOS between days 2 to 4 of their menstrual cycle and 19 females with PCOS. The mean serum concentration of each androgen was high in the females with PCOS, but there was substantial overlap between the 2 groups and many females with PCOS had normal values for 1 or more androgens.
