Comparison of hyperandrogenemic and normoandrogenemic women showed that the 2 subgroups were of similar age but differed in terms of several anthropometric and metabolic features. In particular, hyperandrogenemic women had greater body mass index (32.9 \u00b1 1.0 vs 24.7 \u00b1 0.9 kg\/m2, P &amp;lt; .001) and lower glucose utilization during the clamp (9.2 \u00b1 0.4 vs 10.9 \u00b1 0.7 mg\/kg fat-free mass \u00b7 min, P = .023) and metabolic flexibility (0.09 \u00b1 0.06 vs 0.12 \u00b1 0.01, P = .014). In univariate analysis, metabolic flexibility was associated with several anthropometric, endocrine, and metabolic features. In multivariate analysis, this feature was directly associated with baseline respiratory quotient and insulin sensitivity and inversely with free testosterone and free fatty acids concentrations under insulin suppression (R2 = 0.634, P &amp;lt; .001).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Metabolic inflexibility is a feature of PCOS women.
