All participants underwent an MMT during the early follicular phase with blood samples collected at 0, 30, 60, and 120\u2005min.

In response to a mixed meal, oxytocin declined within 30\u2005min in controls but remained unchanged in the PCOS group. Both baseline and area under the curve values for GLP-1 and GIP were reduced in the PCOS group (P &amp;lt; .001, P = .022; and P &amp;lt; .001, P = .033, respectively). Oxytocin and GLP-1 levels were significantly correlated at all time points. In controls only, early oxytocin changes correlated negatively with hunger and positively with satiety.
