Article Synopsis
- Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia contribute to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and the study aimed to compare metformin alone against metformin combined with Myoinositol and d-chiro-inositol in treatment outcomes for PCOS patients.
- Conducted over 6 months, the randomized controlled trial included overweight and obese women aged 18-35 with PCOS, divided into two treatment groups to assess various health parameters.
- Results showed that both treatments improved menstrual cycle regularity, but the myoinositol group had significantly better outcomes in quality of life, while pregnancy rates were similar; other hormonal and metabolic improvements weren't statistically significant.
