Conditions

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Brief summary

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder, with a prevalence of 5% to 15% in premenopausal women. Patients with PCOS presents as abnormal menstruation, ovulation disorders and/or hyperandrogenemia, and often accompanied by insulin resistance and other metabolic abnormalities. Visceral fat dysfunction is an important factor in the onset of PCOS. GLP-1 receptor agonist is a glucagon-like peptide 1 analog, which is related to improving blood sugar control, weight loss and appetite suppression, and reducing cardiovascular risk. The purpose of this study was to compare whether the combined treatment of GLP-1 receptor agonists and calorie restrict diet reduced more visceral fat of overweight/obese patients with PCOS at the same weight loss (7%) compared with calorie restrict diet alone.

Interventions

GLP-1 receptor agonist is a glucagon-like peptide 1 analog, which is related to improving blood sugar control, weight loss and appetite suppression, and reducing cardiovascular risk.

Calorie restricted diet can improve insulin sensitivity, liver fat in patients with visceral obesity, and metabolism and hormone levels in obese women with PCOS.
