"The few controlled trials performed so far indicate that the addition of metformin and/or flutamide to a hypocaloric diet in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) effectively influences different phenotypic aspects of the syndrome."9.12Treatment with flutamide, metformin, and their combination added to a hypocaloric diet in overweight-obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a randomized, 12-month, placebo-controlled study. ( Cacciari, M; Cavazza, C; Gambineri, A; Morselli-Labate, AM; Pagotto, U; Pasquali, R; Patton, L; Vaccina, A, 2006)

( Diane, A; Ghosh, M; Kupreeva, M; Lehner, R; Proctor, S; Vine, D; Watts, R, 2019)
"The authors evaluate the effects of 2 months of treatment with 250 mg flutamide daily on adrenal steroidogenesis (ACTH test) and metabolic parameters (lipids, insulin resistance) in 12 PCOS women aged 33."7.72Flutamide suppresses adrenal steroidogenesis but has no effect on insulin resistance and secretion and lipid levels in overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome. ( Dvoráková, K; Hill, M; Stanická, S; Stárka, L; Vondra, K; Vrbíková, J, 2004)
"Flutamide-metformin treatment (n = 30) was followed within 3 months by marked decreases in hirsutism score and serum androgens, by a more than 50% increase in insulin sensitivity and by a less atherogenic lipid profile (all P < 0."6.71Low-dose flutamide-metformin therapy reverses insulin resistance and reduces fat mass in nonobese adolescents with ovarian hyperandrogenism. ( Amin, R; de Zegher, F; Dunger, D; Ferrer, A; Ibáñez, L; Ong, K, 2003)

( Diamanti-Kandarakis, E; Georgiadou, E; Hennes, MM; Hoffmann, RG; Kaklas, N; Kissebah, AH; Mitrakou, A; Platanissiotis, D; Raptis, S; Spina, J, 1995)

( Diane, A; Ghosh, M; Kupreeva, M; Lehner, R; Proctor, S; Vine, D; Watts, R, 2019)
" This study tested whether 1) in utero cotreatment of prenatally T-treated sheep with androgen antagonist (flutamide) or insulin sensitizer (rosiglitazone) prevents juvenile insulin resistance and adult changes in adipocyte size; and 2) visceral adiposity and insulin sensitivity are both unaltered during early adulthood, confirming the predicted developmental trajectory in this animal model."3.83Developmental Programming: Impact of Gestational Steroid and Metabolic Milieus on Adiposity and Insulin Sensitivity in Prenatal Testosterone-Treated Female Sheep.

( 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?
