Background and Aim:
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a carbohydrate intolerance diagnosed during pregnancy that is not clearly an overt diabetes. It is characterized by an increase of the physiological insulin resistance of the pregnancy status. Myo-Inositol is an insulin sensitizing agent
Women are referred by the general practioner (GP)/primary care with a suspected diagnosis of PCOS to the Endocrine Clinic at St George's Hospital.
They have an initial routine clinical assessment involving history, BP, weight & assessment of PCOS using the Rotterdam criteria.
The routine clinical
1. RATIONALE & BACKGROUND INFORMATION Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous syndrome and one of the most common female endocrine disorders, affecting 5-20% of women in reproductive age . Clinical expression is highly variable, but typically includes oligo-ovulation or anovulation,
Study design: A single-center pilot open-label randomized control trial. Population: The study will comprise a total of 60 subjects of both sexes, with pubertal stage ≥ 3 according to the Tanner stage, obese according to the IOTF criteria (International Obesity Task Force), diet naïve or with
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS) is a genetically complex endocrine disorder of uncertain etiology and a common cause of hyperandrogenism, anovulatory infertility, menstrual dysfunction, hirsutism, alopecia and acne. It was first reported by Stein and Leventhal in 1935. It affects 6-8% of women of
Myo-inositol is important for glucose homeostasis and has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity. This is a prospective cohort pilot study to determine daily glycemic pharmacokinetics and metabolic influences of myo-inositol supplementation using continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) and
The investigators compared outcomes from metabolic and obstetric point of view in GDM pregnant non-obese patient with different stereoisomears of inositol supply. Dietary control and placebo or inositol steroisomears were administered starting at the enrolling time (first fasting oral glucose above
This protocol focuses on the hypothesis that a deficiency in a putative inositolphosphoglycan (IPG) mediator of insulin action, namely a D-chiro-inositol-containing IPG (DCI-IPG), contributes to the insulin resistance of some women with PCOS. Our interest in this area stems directly from our
