Objective: To assess the relationship between obesity and insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome affected women. Study Design: Cross sectional comparative study. Place and Duration of Study: Multidisciplinary Lab-I of Department of Biochemistry, Army Medical College, Rawalpindi, in collaboration with Pakistan Naval Ship Hafeez Hospital, Islamabad from Feb 2018 to Jan 2019. Methodology: One hundred and five selected females (puberty till 25 years of age) were divided into three groups of 35 each. Blood samples were collected an overnight fast (from 8-11 AM). Serum level of insulin was measured and insulin resistance was calculated based on HOMA-IR. Results: HOMA-IR concentrations correlated directly with Basal Metabolic Index, fasting plasma glucose and serum insulin levels. Mean serum insulin level was also elevated in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (normal weight & overweight) as compared to control subjects (7.4 ± 1.2 mIU/L & 9.1 ± 0.8 mIU/L vs 6.3 ± 1.1 mIU/L; p as 0.003). The insulin resistance was slightly higher in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome as compared to the control subjects (1.4 ± 0.3 & 1.7 ± 0.2 vs. 1.1 ± 0.3; p<0.001). Conclusion: HOMA-IR levels are positively associated with BMI, the intensity of peripheral insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome-affected females, indicating that normal weight, and overweight patients with polycystic ovary syndrome have tendency towards insulin resistance.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a symptom complex associated with increased amounts of circulating androgens in females, increased insulin resistance and obesity. The drugs, Myo-inositol, D-chiro-inositol and Metformin, which are insulin sensitizers, are very helpful in taking care of one of the key components of PCOS that is insulin resistance. This study was done to compare the effects of combination of Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol with the use of metformin on clinical and biochemical profile in PCOS.Methods: A prospective, randomized, comparative study was conducted on 200 patients. The patients were randomly assigned into the two groups of 100 each. Group A receiving Tab. Myoinositol 550mg twice daily and Tab. D-chiro-inositol 13.8mg twice daily and Group B receiving Tab. Metformin 500mg thrice daily. The patients were assessed by menstrual cycle regulation, hirsutism score (Ferriman Gallwey), fasting and post prandial glucose and insulin levels, serum DHEA levels, serum free testosterone levels and fasting day 3 serum LH and FSH ratio.Results: In both the groups there was significant improvement in all the above mentioned parameters, however the group with Combination of Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol had statistically significant improvement over the Metformin group.Conclusions: Combination of Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol and use of metformin, significantly improved insulin sensitivity in PCOS women. But combination of Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol was effective in controlling the hormonal profiles (LH/FSH ration and free testosterone) when compared to Metformin.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) are endocrine disorders that commonly occur among young women. A higher prevalence of HT in women with PCOS, relative to healthy individuals, is observed consistently. Combined occurrence of both diseases is associated with a higher risk of severe metabolic and reproductive complications. Genetic factors strongly impact the pathogenesis of both PCOS and HT and several susceptibility loci associated with a higher risk of both disorders have been identified. Furthermore, some candidate gene polymorphisms are thought to be functionally relevant; however, few genetic variants are proposed to be causally associated with the incidence of both disorders together.
