A combination of gliclazide and metformin attenuates obesity-induced polycystic ovary syndrome in female Wistar rats.

Presently, it is known that the progression of obesity concomitantly leads to polycystic ovary syndrome and infertility. This study aimed to evaluate the potential effects of metformin (M; insulin secretagogues) and gliclazide (G; insulin sensitizer) alone and their combination at different doses to treat obesity-induced PCOS. High high-fat diet was given to all female Wistar rats for nine weeks to induce obesity except for the normal control group which received a normal chow diet.
