flutamide and Hyperinsulinism

flutamide has been researched along with Hyperinsulinism in 18 studies

Flutamide: An antiandrogen with about the same potency as cyproterone in rodent and canine species.

Hyperinsulinism: A syndrome with excessively high INSULIN levels in the BLOOD. It may cause HYPOGLYCEMIA. Etiology of hyperinsulinism varies, including hypersecretion of a beta cell tumor (INSULINOMA); autoantibodies against insulin (INSULIN ANTIBODIES); defective insulin receptor (INSULIN RESISTANCE); or overuse of exogenous insulin or HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Low-dose flutamide-metformin (Flu-Met) with an oral contraceptive is a therapeutic option for women with hyperinsulinaemic hyperandrogenism."9.12Discontinuous low-dose flutamide-metformin plus an oral or a transdermal contraceptive in patients with hyperinsulinaemic hyperandrogenism: normalizing effects on CRP, TNF-alpha and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio. ( de Zegher, F; Ibáñez, L; Valls, C, 2006)
"In adolescents and young women with hyperinsulinaemic hyperandrogenism (n = 118; mean age 16 years, body mass index 22 kg/m(2)), we analysed whether the PCOS-associated rise in leukocyte count is already detectable at young age and, if so, whether such elevation is lowered by metformin, flutamide-metformin, oral contraception (OC), or their combination."9.11High neutrophil count in girls and women with hyperinsulinaemic hyperandrogenism: normalization with metformin and flutamide overcomes the aggravation by oral contraception. ( de Zegher, F; Ferrer, A; Ibáñez, L; Jaramillo, AM, 2005)
"The endocrine-metabolic status of non-obese, young women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is normalized more effectively by combined treatment with flutamide and metformin than by either of these drugs in monotherapy."9.10Low-dose combination of flutamide, metformin and an oral contraceptive for non-obese, young women with polycystic ovary syndrome. ( de Zegher, F; Ibáñez, L, 2003)
"To investigate insulin metabolism and its modifications induced by the administration of flutamide, a specific antiandrogen compound, in women with idiopathic hirsutism (IH) and in nonobese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)."9.09Treatment with flutamide improves hyperinsulinemia in women with idiopathic hirsutism. ( Ajossa, S; Cagnacci, A; Guerriero, S; Melis, GB; Orrù, M; Paoletti, AM, 1999)
" Flutamide, a nonsteroidal antiandrogen, is known to be effective in reducing hirsutism in patients with ovarian hyperandrogenism."9.09Treatment of hirsutism, hyperandrogenism, oligomenorrhea, dyslipidemia, and hyperinsulinism in nonobese, adolescent girls: effect of flutamide. ( de Zegher, F; Ibáñez, L; Marcos, MV; Potau, N, 2000)
"Hyperinsulinemic hyperandrogenism is the core of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and, accordingly, low-dose flutamide-metformin proved so far to be a most effective approach to normalize the broad spectrum of PCOS anomalies in nonobese adolescents and young women."7.73Low-dose flutamide-metformin therapy for hyperinsulinemic hyperandrogenism in nonobese adolescents and women. ( de Zegher, F; Ibáñez, L, 2006)

( de Zegher, F; Ibáñez, L; Valls, C, 2006)
"One of the treatments for hyperinsulinemic hyperandrogenism in nonobese women is combined androgen receptor blockade (with flutamide; Flu), insulin sensitization (with metformin; Met) plus an estroprogestagen contraceptive."5.12Combined low-dose pioglitazone, flutamide, and metformin for women with androgen excess. ( de Zegher, F; del Rio, L; Enríquez, G; Ibáñez, L; López-Bermejo, A; Valls, C, 2007)

( de Zegher, F; Ibáñez, L, 2006)
"We hypothesized that dyslipidemia and anovulation in nonobese women with polycystic ovary syndrome are essentially secondary to the concerted effects of hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance."2.70Additive effects of insulin-sensitizing and anti-androgen treatment in young, nonobese women with hyperinsulinism, hyperandrogenism, dyslipidemia, and anovulation. ( De Zegher, F; Dunger, DB; Ferrer, A; Ibáñez, L; Ong, K; Valls, C, 2002)
"While the treatment of hyperandrogenism makes use of different drugs already studied, the debate about the use of insulin sensitizing drugs is still open."2.42Which treatment options should be used in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome?
