Changes of Serum Level of Homocysteine and Oxidative Stress Markers by Metformin and Inositol in Infertile Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Double Blind Randomized Clinical Trial Study.

However, long-term metformin therapy elevated homocysteine (Hcy) concentration in these individuals. Inositol increases serum insulin levels and improves ovulation.
