Abstract:
:We report a woman with insulin resistance associated with hyperandrogenism and acanthosis nigricans (HAIR-AN syndrome) treated during 30 days with the prolonged action opioid antagonist Naltrexone. During its administration, decreases in basal blood glucose and serum insulin, insulin and glucose response to a glucose load and plasma testosterone were observed. These findings suggest that opioid activity could play a critical role in the physiopathology of hyperinsulinemia in hyperandrogenic women.
