Summary
Jeffrey Chang MD is conducting a research study to learn more about the increased male
hormone levels, otherwise known as androgens, seen in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(PCOS). Women with PCOS have ovaries that are comprised of many cysts, or follicles. They
also have irregular or absent menstrual periods and symptoms of increased male hormones, such
as facial hair or acne. In each part of the study (except part 4 which is for PCOS women
only) we will be comparing responses of PCOS women to normal controls
