Context: Hyperandrogenism is a hallmark of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), yet the androgen(s) responsible remain ambiguous. Recent studies have suggested that 11-oxygenated C steroids (11-oxyandrogens), specifically 11-ketotestosterone, may be a good marker for hyperandrogenism in PCOS.
Objective: To investigate the utility of 11-oxyandrogens to differentiate women with and without PCOS relative to classical androgens.

Importance: Infertility affects around 180 million people in the world and can be influenced by a number of nutritional factors.
