metformin and Hyperandrogenism

metformin has been researched along with Hyperandrogenism in 145 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Hyperandrogenism: A condition caused by the excessive secretion of ANDROGENS from the ADRENAL CORTEX; the OVARIES; or the TESTES. The clinical significance in males is negligible. In women, the common manifestations are HIRSUTISM and VIRILISM as seen in patients with POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME and ADRENOCORTICAL HYPERFUNCTION.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Progesterone Sensitivity Index Before and After Metformin Treatment.

The progesterone (P4) sensitivity index is defined as the percent change in 11-hour LH pulse frequency before and after P4 and estradiol administration for 7 days, divided by the day 7 mean serum P4 concentration. We compared the P4 sensitivity index after metformin administration to the baseline P4 sensitivity index, using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. (NCT01427595)
