Objective: to evaluate inflammatory markers and insulin resistance (IR) in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with different body mass index (BMI). Methods: tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed in serum samples from 40 women in reproductive age. Patients were divided into four groups: I (non-eutrophic with PCOS, n¼12), II (non-eutrophic without PCOS, n¼10), III (eutrophic with PCOS, n¼8) and IV (eutrophic without PCOS, n¼10) being non-eutrophic, the overweight and obese women with BMI425 kg/m2 and eutrophic women with BMI524.9 kg/m2. Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) was calculated for evaluation of IR. Results: PCOS patients showed increased levels of CRP (p50.01) and HOMA-IR (p50.01). When divided by BMI, both non-eutrophic and eutrophic PCOS showed increased CRP levels (p50.01) and HOMA-IR (p50.01). There were no differences in TNF-a and IL-6 levels between groups. Conclusion: in the PCOS group, the levels of CRP and IR were elevated, compared to their counterparts, regardless of body mass
