Pan X. Metabolic characteristics of obese patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome: a meta-analysis. Gynecol Endocrinol 2023; 39:2239934. [PMID: 37524309 DOI: 10.1080/09513590.2023.2239934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Though recent studies have pointed out different manifestations between obese and nonobese patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), there is no clear evidence to confirm this viewpoint. Therefore, the metabolic characteristics of obese and nonobese patients with PCOS were systematically compared through meta-analysis in this study. METHODS Data were searched from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang databases. Articles on obese and nonobese patients with PCOS published from database inception to January 2022 were included. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 16.0 statistical software. RESULTS A total of 739 articles were initially retrieved, and ultimately 14 studies were involved in the meta-analysis. Specifically, there were 801 patients in the observation group (obese patients with PCOS) and 925 patients in the control group (nonobese patients with PCOS). Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly lower levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and higher levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Nevertheless, there were no significant differences between the two groups in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), glucose, and testosterone. CONCLUSION Compared with nonobese patients with PCOS, obese patients with PCOS have worse blood lipid parameters and lower levels of LH and FSH. Also, there are significant differences in metabolic characteristics between the two groups of patients. Most importantly, our findings provide guidance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PCOS.

Oxidative Stress Markers and Heat Shock Proteins in Non-Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Are Not Elevated and Show No Correlation with Vitamin D. Biomedicines 2023; 11:2044. [PMID: 37509682 PMCID: PMC10377564 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11072044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Oxidative stress (OS) is recognized in the pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). OS results in intracellular reactive oxygen species generation, causing oxidative protein damage that is protected by heat shock proteins (HSPs). Vitamin D is thought to reduce and protect against OS; therefore, OS, HSP, and vitamin D levels may be associated with PCOS. However, their expression in PCOS without underlying inflammation is unknown. METHODS In this exploratory study, the plasma levels of 7 OS proteins and 10 HSPs that are affected by the OS process were measured using Slow Off-rate Modified Aptamer (SOMA)-scan plasma protein measurements in non-obese, non-insulin resistant women with PCOS (n = 24) without systemic inflammation and control (n = 24) women; the cohorts were matched for weight and age. The OS proteins and HSPs were correlated with 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) and the active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), as measured by isotope-dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS The PCOS women versus the controls had comparable insulin resistance and systemic inflammation (C-reactive protein 2.0 mg/L vs. 2.3 mg/L, p > 0.05), but higher free androgen index and anti-mullerian hormone levels. Among the OS proteins, only esterase D (ESD; p < 0.01) was elevated in PCOS and the HSPs did not differ between the PCOS and control women. There was no correlation of 25(OH)D3 or 1,25(OH)2D3 with any of the proteins. CONCLUSIONS In a PCOS population that was non-obese and without insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, only ESD was elevated in PCOS, whilst the other OS proteins and HSPs were not elevated. Further, none of the OS proteins or HSPs were correlated with either 25(OH)D3 or 1,25(OH)2D3 in either cohort of women or when both cohorts were combined, indicating that the OS and HSP responses were largely absent and not affected by vitamin D in a non-obese PCOS population.

Impact of pharmacological interventions on insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 2022; 96:371-394. [PMID: 34713480 DOI: 10.1111/cen.14623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2021] [Revised: 09/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
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.

Abstract
Diabetes is accompanied by several complications. Higher prevalence of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease (CKD), obesity, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative diseases has been reported among patients with diabetes. Metformin is the oldest oral antidiabetic drug and can improve coexisting complications of diabetes. Clinical trials and observational studies uncovered that metformin can remarkably prevent or alleviate cardiovascular diseases, obesity, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), osteoporosis, cancer, periodontitis, neuronal damage and neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), tuberculosis, and COVID-19. In addition, metformin has been proposed as an antiaging agent. Numerous mechanisms were shown to be involved in the protective effects of metformin. Metformin activates the LKB1/AMPK pathway to interact with several intracellular signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms. The drug modifies the biologic function of NF-κB, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, SIRT1/PGC-1α, NLRP3, ERK, P38 MAPK, Wnt/β-catenin, Nrf2, JNK, and other major molecules in the intracellular signaling network. It also regulates the expression of noncoding RNAs. Thereby, metformin can regulate metabolism, growth, proliferation, inflammation, tumorigenesis, and senescence. Additionally, metformin modulates immune response, autophagy, mitophagy, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and apoptosis and exerts epigenetic effects. Furthermore, metformin protects against oxidative stress and genomic instability, preserves telomere length, and prevents stem cell exhaustion. In this review, the protective effects of metformin on each disease will be discussed using the results of recent meta-analyses, clinical trials, and observational studies. Thereafter, it will be meticulously explained how metformin reprograms intracellular signaling pathways and alters molecular and cellular interactions to modify the clinical presentations of several diseases.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder in reproductive-aged women and is associated with an increased risk of metabolic abnormalities, including obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, venous thromboembolism, and subclinical atherosclerosis. Clinicians and patients alike need to be aware of these increased risks as well as new international guidelines that recommend frequent screening and active management of metabolic abnormalities. Given that the data on risk of cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction and stroke, in women with PCOS is mixed, future large-scale, longitudinal studies are needed to clarify these potential risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A numerous studies have reported that obese patients (OP) are easily to have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Although a variety of managements are available to treat such disorder, their efficacy is still limited. Previous studies have reported that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSGT) can benefit OP with T2DM. However, no study specifically and systematically explores this topic. Thus, this study will assess the efficacy and complications of LSGT for the management of OP with T2DM. METHODS The search strategy will be performed in the electronic databases from inception to the March 31, 2020 without limitations of language and publication time: PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, AMED, WANGFANG, VIP, and CNKI. Two authors will independently identify the articles, collect the data, and assess the risk of bias using Cochrane risk of bias tool. We will invite a third author to solve any differences between two authors. We will use RevMan 5.3 software to investigate the statistical analysis. RESULTS This study will supply a high-quality synthesis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the analysis of LSGT for the management of OP with T2DM. CONCLUSIONS This study will help to build proposals that aim at providing high quality RCTs in the management of LSGT in OP with T2DM. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION INPLASY202040128.
