Increased amount of abdominal fat and obesity are common in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A higher prevalence of bulimia nervosa and greater cravings for sweets have also been reported in these patients. The present study aimed to compare meal-related appetite and secretion of the 'satiety peptide' cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucose regulatory hormones in PCOS women and controls. Sixteen pairs of women with PCOS and controls matched for age and body mass index participated in the study. After an overnight fast, blood samples were collected during ingestion of a standardized meal. We determined basal and postprandial blood levels of CCK, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, cortisol, growth hormone and glucose. Self-ratings of appetite were assessed by a visual analog scale. PCOS women had a significantly lower meal-related CCK response (p < 0.05) with no association with satiety, as in the controls (r = 0.64). There was a tendency to higher ratings of craving for sweets in PCOS women (p = 0.07) but no correlation with insulin, as in the controls (r = 0.50). Within the PCOS group, ratings of craving for sweets were inversely related to testosterone (r = - 0.60) and the CCK response was positively correlated with levels of free testosterone (r = 0.50). We conclude that women with PCOS have reduced postprandial CCK secretion and deranged appetite regulation associated with increased levels of testosterone. Impaired CCK secretion may play a role in the greater frequency of binge eating and overweight in women with PCOS.
