An increased prevalence of impaired glucose homeostasis (IGH) and diabetes mellitus is reported in monosomy X, or Turner syndrome (TS). To determine whether IGH an intrinsic feature this syndrome, independent obesity hypogonadism, we compared results a standard oral challenge age- body mass index-matched women with TS karyotypically normal premature ovarian failure (POF). Fasting levels were both groups, but values after higher [2-h glucose, 135 +/- 36 mg/dl (7.5 2.0 mmol/liter) 97 18 (5.4...
