Objective: To evaluate potential benefits of adding the active form of Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol) to Clomiphene Citrate compared with Human Menopausal Gonadotropins (hMG) in Clomiphene Citrate resistant PCOS patients. Methods: 148 PCOS Patients with Clomiphene Citrate resistance were randomized into two groups (A and B). In group A, controlled ovarian stimulation was done by Clomiphene Citrate 150 mg daily (from 2nd till 6th day of cycle) together with Ubiquinol starting from 2nd day till day of hCG triggering in a dose of 100 mg orally once daily. In group B, hMG was given from 2nd day of the cycle in a dose ranging from 75 to 225 IU. Serial transvaginal ultrasonography was done starting on cycle day 8 and continued till size of leading follicle reaches 18 mm or more then ovulation triggering was done. Thereafter, patients were advised for a timed intercourse (TI) after 36 hours. A blood sample was withdrawn seven days after hCG triggering, for measurement of serum progesterone. If the Patient presented with a missed period for one week, a serum sample was sent for β-hCG.
Time restricted feeding (TRF) has been emerging as a potential weight loss strategy that avoids major dietary changes but achieves strong effects. It also improves insulin sensitivity through increased human growth hormone. This effect helps to improve the root cause of weight gain and has additional benefits for women with PCOS.
The use of GnRH antagonist protocol nowadays is the slandered protocol of controlled ovarian stimulation in patients with poly cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) because it decreases the incidence of OHSS(1, 2). However, this protocol may lead to asynchronous growth of follicles with an early dominant follicle specially in PCOS patients(3). In most of cases this phenomenon will affect the IVF outcomes(2, 4) Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) nowadays is recommended to be used for ovulation induction in patients with PCOS (5, 6).It has fewer side effects, and a shorter half-life than clomiphene citrate(CC), and no effect ON the endometrial receptivity. It is used in treating patients with chronic anovulation, unexplained infertility and poor ovarian reserve(7). It acts through decreasing estrogen levels and allows follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) release from the hypothalamus (8, 9). It could be used alone or with combination with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) specially in patients with CC resistant(10-13). It also improves the ovarian response to FSH when they are used in combination and it decreases the risk of OHSS (14). This study aims to evaluate the effect of uses of letrozole in combination with HMG during ovarian stimulation in patients having PCOS undergoing IVF/ICSI on the follicular growth pattern, synchronized growth of follicles, maturity of oocyte and the quality of embryos.
The Investigators will measure hepatic glucose and fat metabolism in obese girls with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and hepatic steatosis (HS) after taking 4 weeks of an essential amino acid (EAA) supplement or placebo and test whether the EAA supplement can improve hepatic glucose metabolism in these girls.
To evaluate the effect of performing laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) before proceeding to in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) on the cycle outcomes in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients with high antimullerian hormone (AMH) levels
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of increasing the proportion of D-chiro-inositol (DCI) in a combination with myo-inositol (MYO) in improving fertility in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Sixty women diagnosed with PCOS will randomly take twice a day for 12 weeks a capsule containing 550 mg of myo-inositol and 150 mg of D-chiro-inositol or capsules containing 550 mg of myo-inositol and 13.8 mg of D-chiro-inositol.
Objective: 1. To investigate the changes in the levels of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 after 3 months treatment with metformin alone and combination of metformin and pioglitazone in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). 2. To evaluate insulin resistance in all the groups at baseline and after 3 months of treatment. Design: Two-Arm Randomized Clinical trial. Setting: Out-Patient Department (OPD) of Mardan Medical Complex, Khyber Medical University. Patient(s): One hundred and two patients with PCOS. Intervention(s): 51 women will receive metformin according to the body weight with maximum dose of 1000 mg (BD) daily. Remaining 51 will receive metformin and pioglitazone combination according to the body weight with maximum dose of 1000 mg and 30 mg (BD) daily. Main outcomes measure(s): Serum concentrations of fasting blood glucose, insulin, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and i-nterleukin-8 (IL-8).
The Investigators will measure if hepatic metabolism is upregulated in obese girls with PCOS and hepatic steatosis (HS), compared to PCOS without HS and obese controls without HS.
To evaluate possible clinical effects of adipokines , ( ghrelin, resistin and adiponectin), in obese and non-obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
