Active clinical trials for "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome"

Short term hydrocortisone to test whether improves excess androgen production from adrenal gland and ovaries

This study will test whether short-term suppression of ovarian function can ameliorate androgen (male hormone) overproduction in overweight girls with androgen excess. The investigators hypothesize that one dose of depot leuprolide agonist administration will improve androgen levels in girls with ovarian androgen overproduction. Specifically, this intervention will improve androgen levels after ovarian stimulation testing with recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG).

This study will test whether longer-term suppression of adrenal function can ameliorate androgen (male hormone) overproduction in overweight early pubertal girls with androgen excess. The investigators hypothesize that suppression of nighttime adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) production by 12 weeks of evening oral hydrocortisone administration will improve androgen levels in girls with adrenal androgen overproduction. Specifically, this intervention will improve androgen levels after adrenal stimulation testing with ACTH or ovarian stimulation testing with recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG).

The aim of our study was to compare the difference of fatty infiltration in liver and muscle using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between overweight as well as obese polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) cases and body mass index (BMI)-matched women without PCOS, identifying the possible influence factors.

In this study the investigators aimed to investigate whether there is a relation between polycystic ovary syndrome and serum endocan levels.

The Investigators will measure if hepatic metabolism is upregulated in obese girls with PCOS and hepatic steatosis (HS), compared to PCOS without HS and obese controls without HS.

The effect of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) with or without obesity has received a few attentions. There is a lack of evidence to whether the BMI affects the endometrial blood flow, which is necessary for implantation.

Randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial that evaluate the role of taking metformin therapy during pregnancy in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS) in reducing the development of gestational diabetes(GDM) and improving pregnancy outcomes.

The overall objective of this study is to determine whether serum BPA and/or phthalate concentrations differ in fertile versus infertile men and women in Saskatchewan. The investigators will test the following hypothesis: Serum BPA and/or phthalate concentrations will be greater in women with unexplained infertility or PCOS compared to a control group Serum BPA and/or phthalate concentrations will be greater in men with male factor infertility compared to a control group

The investigators analyzed collection data of 10 years for the efficacy of metformin on body mass, menstrual frequencies, metabolic and hormonal outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and BMI ≥ 25kg/m2. Each patient's age and height were recorded at baseline. In addition each patient weight, waist circumference, menstrual regularity, fasting glucose, glucose after 120 minute oral glucose tolerance test, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone , free and direct testosterone, androstenedione, sex hormone binding globulin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate were identified at baseline and at the every follow up visit where available.
