Filter by:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine and metabolic disorders in women of reproductive age, and its prevalence rate is from 9% (NIH criteria) to 18% (Rotterdamcriteria). It is clinically characterized by hyperandrogenism, persistent anovulation, and polycystic ovarian changes. Moreover it is often accompanied by insulin resistance and obesity. Now, metformin is not only an antihyperglycemic drug, it also corrects insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism in polycystic ovary syndrome. Chiglitazar is a novel peroxisome proliferation activated receptor (PPAR) agonist. Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus by moderate activation of PPARα, PPARγ and PPARδ, improving insulin sensitivity, regulating blood glucose, and promoting fatty acid oxidation and utilization. However, there is limited evidence for its treatment of insulin resistance in women with PCOS. Therefore, we applied chiglitazar and metformin to two groups of PCOS patients to understand their effects on insulin resistance.
Recently, the negative effects of advanced glycation end products on the pathophysiology of some diseases have attracted attention. This study was planned to evaluate the effect of dietary intervention and weight loss on serum advanced glycation and disease pathogenesis in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Purpose and significance: To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Chiglitazar sodium in polycystic ovary syndrome with type 2 diabetes Methods: From October 2022 to September 2024, a total of 142 PCOS with T2DM patients admitted to Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University were recruited. Participants are randomized in a ratio of 1:1 into two treatment groups of 71 participants: ① control group；②experimental group. After randomization, the control group was treated with lifestyle intervention+ metformin+ orlistat (obese patients)+ pioglitazone, and the patients in the experimental group were treated with lifestyle intervention+ metformin+ orlistat (obese patients)+ Chiglitazar (32mg QD) until the end of follow-up. The treatment and follow-up period totaled 3 months. Observe the body weight, menstrual cycle and blood glucose control and other related indicators. Type of study: randomized controlled, prospective, intervention study.
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility among young women. This syndrome is a reproductive and endocrinological disorder that affects up to 18% of reproductive-aged women. To date, the only strategy shown to reverse PCOS is sustained weight loss of 5-10%. At present, daily calorie restriction (CR) is the main diet prescribed to patients with PCOS for weight loss. However, some women find it difficult to adhere to CR because calorie intake must be vigilantly monitored every day. Considering these problems with CR, another approach that limits timing of food intake, instead of number of calories consumed, has been developed. This diet is called "time restricted eating" (TRE) and involves confining the period of food intake to 6-8 h per day. TRE allows individuals to self-select foods and eat ad libitum during a large part of the day, which greatly increases compliance to these protocols. Recent findings show that TRE significantly reduces body weight, insulin resistance, and inflammation in adults with obesity. However, no randomized controlled trials have studied the role of TRE in treating PCOS. Accordingly, this study will compare the effects of TRE vs CR in females with PCOS over 6 months on body weight, androgen markers, inflammatory markers and insulin sensitivity. Methods: A 6-month randomized, controlled, parallel-arm trial will be implemented. Females with obesity and PCOS will be randomized to 1 of 3 groups: (1) 6-h TRE (ad libitum food intake from 1-7 pm, fasting from 7pm-1pm); (2) CR (25% energy restriction daily); or (3) control group (ad libitum intake with no meal timing restrictions).
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder, with a prevalence of 5% to 15% in premenopausal women. Patients with PCOS presents as abnormal menstruation, ovulation disorders and/or hyperandrogenemia, and often accompanied by insulin resistance and other metabolic abnormalities. Sleeve gastrectomy was an effective threapy for severe obesity patients. This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy for obese patients with PCOS. Mealwhile, the specific mechanism of sleeve gastrectomy for improving obese patients with PCOS will be explored through multi-group analysis.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility which affects 12-21% of the population.Several studies performed evaluate the possible benefit of metformin alone or in combination with clomiphene (CC)as first-line treatment for infertility in women with PCOS have reported conflicting results. These conflicting results may be due to the presence or absence of insulin resistance(IR).Metformin decreases IR .However there is not a single randomized clinical trial with metformin in IR PCOS patients. Therefore, the aim of current study is to compare CC with coadministration of metformin and with CC with coadministration of placebo in IR PCOS patients to induce ovulation.
Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance play a key role in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Insulin resistance is significantly associated with the long-term risks of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Acupuncture with electrical stimulation has in rats with dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced PCOS been shown to improve insulin sensitivity. Whether these findings can be translated into women with PCOS has not been investigated. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate whether acupuncture improves insulin sensitivity, ovulation rate and quality of life in women with PCOS. Our hypothesis is that acupuncture with combined manual and low-frequency electrical stimulation of the needles improves insulin resistance, induces ovulation and improves quality of life.
Control ovarian stimulation responses, pregnancy and miscarriage rates are indifferent when either recombinant or highly purified follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is used.
The investigators aim to compare the levels of bone morphogenetic protein-4 and -7 (BMP-4 and 7) in blood, follicular fluid and ovarian organ culture supernatant obtained from healthy subjects and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients.
