Insulin-lowering drugs in polycystic ovary syndrome.

Abstract:

:The discovery that insulin resistance has a key role in the pathophysiology of PCOS has led to a novel and promising form of therapy in the form of the insulin-sensitizing drugs. Although no extremely large trials using these drugs for this indication have been performed, more than 18 trials have specifically examined the effects of these drugs on ovulation, hyperandrogenemia, and dysmetabolic features in PCOS. Table 1 summarizes the results of previous trials using each of the insulin-sensitizing drugs discussed herein. Among the various agents (i.e., thiazolidinediones, [table: see text] metformin, and D-chiro-inositol), metformin is the most widely tested. Metformin may have the added benefit of improving at least some features of syndrome X, such as hypertension and obesity. All of the evidence to date suggests that metformin is a safe drug to administer to women who may become pregnant. In contrast, the two thiazolidinediones currently available, rosiglitazone and pioglitazone, are category C drugs that have been demonstrated to retard fetal development in animal studies. Overall, insulin-sensitizing therapy presents a promising and unique therapeutic intervention for the treatment of PCOS, offering metabolic and gynecologic benefits for women who sustain this syndrome.
