The HAIR-AN syndrome is characterized by hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and acanthosis nigricans. The authors report the first case of an organic mood disorder associated with this condition that improved markedly in response to ovarian suppression with oral contraceptives. The proposed pathophysiology of this syndrome is also discussed.
黑棘皮症-高雄激素血症-胰岛素抵抗综合征(HAIR-AN综合征)的特征为高雄激素血症、胰岛素抵抗和黑棘皮症。作者报告了首例与该病症相关的器质性心境障碍病例,该病例在口服避孕药抑制卵巢功能后有显著改善。本文还讨论了该综合征可能的病理生理学机制。
