The average plasma testosterone concentration of women with either hirsutism or polycystic ovaries and hirsutism was higher (p < 0.01) than that of normal women although the ranges overlapped. Testosterone blood production rates averaged 830 ± 120 SE and 1,180 ± 310 SE μg per day in the two groups of hirsute women and 230 ± 33 SE μg per day in normal women. The ranges did not overlap.
