ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine condition affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by insulin resistance and is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The objective was to review the literature on the effect of different pharmacological interventions on insulin resistance in women with PCOS.DESIGN:
We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane library and the Web of Science in April 2020 and updated in March 2021. The study follows the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-ana. Reviwers extracted data and assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane risk of bias tool.RESULTS:
In 58 randomized controlled trials there were significant reductions in the fasting blood glucose (FBG) with metformin versus placebo (standardized mean difference [SMD] -0.23; 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.40, -0.06; I² = 0%, low-grade evidence), and acarbose versus metformin (mean difference [MD] -10.50 mg/dl; 95% CI -15.76, -5.24; I² = 0%, low-grade evidence). Significant reductions in fasting insulin (FI) with pioglitazone versus placebo (SMD -0.55; 95% CI -1.03, -0.07; I² = 37%; p = .02, very-low-grade evidence). A significant reduction in homoeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was seen with exenatide versus metformin (MD -0.34; 95% CI -0.65, -0.03; I² = 0%, low-grade evidence). No effect on homoeostatic model assessment of beta cells (HOMA-B) was observed.CONCLUSIONS:
Pharmacological interventions, including metformin, acarbose, pioglitazone and exenatide have significant effects on FBG, FI, HOMA-IR but not on HOMA-B.Palavras-chave
