Keywords: gestational diabetes, insulin-sensitizing drugs infertility, insulin resistance, metformin, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrinological disorder affecting 4–12% of women and also the most controversial. Metformin was logically introduced to establish the extent to which hyperinsulinaemia influences the pathogenesis of the condition. Early studies were very encouraging. Randomized controlled studies and several metaanalyses have changed the picture and put the drug that was once heralded as magic in a much contracted place.
Metformin is one of the longest established oral insulin sensitising agents. For decades its use was restricted to management of type 2 diabetes. However, in the past two decades, its properties as an insulin sensitising agent have been explored in relation to its applicability for women with PCOS. Metformin is an effective ovulation induction agent for non-obese women with PCOS and offers some advantages over other first line treatments for anovulatory infertility such as clomiphene. For clomiphene-resistant women, metformin alone or in combination with clomiphene is an effective next step. Women with PCOS undergoing in vitro fertilisation should be offered metformin to reduce their risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Limited evidence suggests that metformin may be a suitable alternative to the oral contraceptive pill (OCP) for treating hyperandrogenic symptoms of PCOS including hirsutism and acne. More research is required to define whether metformin has a role in improving long term health outcomes for women with PCOS, including the prevention of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and endometrial cancer.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinological disorder affecting 4–12% of women It has also been the most controversial medical condition and every aspect has received a lot of attention from the nomenclature to the management.
Currently, PCOS refers to a disorder with a combination of reproductive and metabolic characteristics. This has evolved over time with controversy over the definition culminating in the latest consensus which instead of solving the issue created more controversy. In the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology/American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ESHRE/ASRM) consensus, at least two of the following features are needed to make the diagnosis; oligo/anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic features on ultrasound scan [. The Androgen Excess Society, however, recommended that androgen excess should remain a constant feature of PCOS irrespective of the ovulatory status and morphological features of the ovaries For almost three decades, PCOS has been regarded as a life course disease which besides its reproductive features has a long-term impact on the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome as well as any concomitant cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks.
Metformin is frequently prescribed for type 2 diabetes and has many of advantages including it is weight neutral, and it does not affect the risk of cardiovascular disease2and hypoglycemia Metformin exerts its antihyperglycemic action primarily by inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis and by increasing the action of insulin in certain target organs, like muscleand fat Additionally, metformin is progressively used in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and many studies suggest that metformin could affect pituitary gonadotropin-secreting cells However, the underlying mechanism by which metformin regulates blood glucose levels and/or affects pituitary remains unknown.
Recently, metabolomics has progressed remarkably within the past decade and provided mechanistic insights by correlating biochemical changes with phenotypes. An untargeted metabolomics approach is especially comprehensive in scope and can measure as many metabolites as possible from biological samples simultaneously, without bias. This has great potential for revealing the underlying mechanism of pathophysiology or drug effects. Therefore, these ‘metabolomic' studies are seen as a useful tool for the study of metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)) to investigate systemic alterations in metabolism (e.g., high blood sugar and hormone imbalance) or mechanism of its therapeutic drugs (e.g., metformin).
It is well known that the pleiotropic actions of metformin are associated with AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). The pituitary-mediated actions of metformin were also elucidated in PCOS and diabetes. In particular, Lucie Tosca et al. elucidated that metformin-induced AMPK activation could exert its action in pituitary cells It was also supported by recent studies that orally-dosed metformin rapidly crosses the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and accumulates in the pituitary gland and hypothalamus of rats However, the anti-hyperglycemic mechanism of metformin, associated with the neuroendocrine system, is not fully understood.
These observations suggested that insulin sensitizing agents, such as metformin or troglitazone, should be tested for the treatment of PCOS. These drugs improve insulin sensitivity by different mechanisms, thus determining a subsequent reduction in plasma insulin levels (8, 9). Recently, some short-term studies supported this hypothesis, reporting significant reductions of serum androgens in women with PCOS given either metformin or troglitazone . Interestingly, improvements in reproductive abnormalities of these patients have also been reported in some of these studies. On the other hand, other authors failed to observe any clinical or biochemical changes after metformin. These discrepancies are not easily explained. In addition, controlled long-term studies assessing the clinical effects of these treatments are still lacking.
The present study was designed to assess, with a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled protocol, the effects on menstrual abnormalities of a 6-month course of metformin in a group of 23 subjects with PCOS with normal glucose tolerance. Subsequently, 18 of these subjects and 14 additional women with PCOS were included in an open trial to evaluate the long-term effects of metformin on clinical features of the syndrome and to determine any baseline predictors of the treatment’s efficacy.
Subjects and study protocols
Protocol A (double-blind study). Twenty-three caucasian women with PCOS, ages between 18–35 yr and with normal glucose tolerance by the criteria of the World Health Organization (19), were recruited for the double-blind, placebo-controlled study. All these subjects were referred to our division for menstrual abnormalities, with or without hirsutism.
Diagnosis of PCOS was based on the presence of hyperandrogenic chronic anovulation, after exclusion of Cushing’s syndrome, late-onset 21-hydroxylase deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, hyperprolactinemia, or androgen secreting tumors, according to recommendations of the NICHHD consensus conference on PCOS (2). No subject had other diseases or was taking medications.
All these women had an abnormal response of serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone to GnRH-agonist stimulation (20). Twenty of them had severe oligoamenorrhea (6 or fewer menses per year), whereas 3 women had less severe irregularities in menstrual cycles. In these 3 subjects, anovulation was confirmed by serum progesterone assessment in the luteal phase of the cycle.
The large majority of these subjects were overweight (mean body mass index 30.0 ± 1.1, range 19.0–38.7 kg/m2). Sixteen of them (70%) showed increased plasma insulin response to oral glucose, a rough parameter of insulin resistance.
Women were randomly assigned to double-blind oral metformin or placebo for 6 months. The dose of the study drug was increased stepwise, from 500 mg (1 capsule) once daily for the first week to 500 mg bid for the next week, and to 500 mg tid for a further 24 weeks. Patients were instructed not to modify their usual eating habits throughout the study.
Metformin effects on menstrual abnormalities of women with PCOS were evaluated by assessing post-treatment changes in frequency of cycles. Furthermore, changes in several endocrine and metabolic features of the syndrome were also assessed.
Thus, before and at the end of study, the following were carried out:
1. Assessment of menstrual history, with recording of menses in the 6-month periods before the study and during treatment;
2. Physical examination for body weight, waist/hip ratio, hirsutism score, measured by a modification of the Ferriman-Gallwey method (21), and blood pressure, measured by a mercury sphygmomanometer with the subject in the sitting position, after a rest of at least 5 min;
3. Venous blood withdrawal, after overnight fasting, for serum gonadotropins, androgens (total and free testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, androstenedione), 17-hydroxyprogesterone, estradiol, sex hormone-binding globulin and lipoproteins (total and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides);
4.GnRH-agonist challenge (20), with measurement of serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone, gonadotropins and estradiol, 24 h after 0.1 mg buserelin sc, as previously described (22);
5. Oral glucose tolerance test, with plasma glucose and insulin measurements on samples obtained every 30 min for 2 h;
6. Insulin sensitivity assessment by the glucose clamp technique (see below), in 16 out of 23 women participating in the protocol. The remaining subjects did not give their consent to this procedure.
All baseline evaluations were carried out in the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, or after at least 3 months of amenorrhea.
Each woman was asked to report any side-effect during the treatment. In addition, safety parameters (hematology, liver and renal function, serum electrolytes and uric acid) were assessed before and at 2-month intervals during the study.
All subjects gave their informed written consent before entering the study, which was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the institutional ethical committee.
Protocol B (open, long-term study). Eighteen out of the 23 women included in protocol A received metformin in an open design providing treatment for an unscheduled duration after the completion of the double-blind study, to assess long-term effects of treatment and to determine any predictors of the efficacy of metformin. Fourteen additional, previously untreated, severely oligoamenorrheic women with PCOS were also included in this protocol. Thus, the total number of subjects participating in the open study was 32, 21 overweight and 11 lean. These additional women with PCOS were evaluated at baseline by the procedures indicated in protocol A, except for the glucose clamp. Subjects participating in this protocol also gave their informed consent before entering the study. A placebo group was not included in this long-term protocol, as it was considered unethical after results of the double-blind study. Moreover, a control group is irrelevant to assessment of therapeutic efficacy predictors.
In all patients, metformin dosage was increased stepwise as indicated above, and the following were assessed at 4-month intervals: changes in menstrual history (main outcome), side effects, body weight, hirsutism score, blood pressure, fasting plasma insulin, serum testosterone, gonadotropins, sex hormone-binding globulin, and lipids. GnRH-agonist challenge was repeated after 4–6 months of metformin in 19 subjects.
To assess the effects of treatment on ovulatory function, serum progesterone levels were repeatedly measured in the luteal phases of subjects experiencing regular menses after metformin treatment. Ten women accepted these additional assessments, which were carried out in an overall total of 39 cycles. Ovulation was presumed to have occurred when serum progesterone exceeded 18 nmol/L.
Insulin sensitivity
Insulin sensitivity was measured by the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp, as previously described (5). Briefly, after overnight fasting, a primed, continuous insulin infusion (Humulin R, Eli Lilly & Co., Indianapolis, IN) was started; this was maintained for 120 min, at a constant rate of 80 mU/m2 × min, which makes it possible to reach steady-state plasma insulin levels in the high in vivo range. Euglycemia was maintained throughout the test with a variable infusion of 20
Double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Clinical and endocrine features.Table 1 shows the main characteristics of women given metformin or placebo, at baseline and after treatment. At baseline, the placebo group had significantly higher body mass index, whereas serum androgens tended to be higher in the metformin group.
Velazquez et al. (10) first reported, in an uncontrolled study, a reduction of serum free testosterone in 29 nondiabetic women with PCOS, mostly overweight, given metformin for 8 weeks. This protocol was designed to evaluate the effects of attenuation of insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia on the metabolic and endocrine features of PCOS. Unexpectedly, 3 of these subjects became pregnant, and menstrual cycles were normalized in another 7, who continued the treatment indefinitely. These findings prompted the testing of insulin sensitizing agents, such as metformin or troglitazone, for the treatment of both the metabolic and the endocrine abnormalities of women with PCOS.
In conclusion, treatment with the insulin sensitizing agent metformin is effective in many women with PCOS, independently of changes in body weight, in attenuating insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia and in reversing menstrual abnormalities and chronic anovulation. Insulin sensitizing agents may prove an efficacious therapeutic tool in a large subset of subjects with this common disease.
