metformin and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

metformin has been researched along with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in 1343 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.

Matsuda Sensitivity Index Derived From the OGTT(SI OGTT)

The SI IOGTT is a measure of peripheral insulin sensitivity derived from the values of Insulin (microunits per milliliter) and Glucose (milligrams per deciliter) obtained from the OGTT and the corresponding fasting values. SI (OGTT) = 10,000/ [(G fasting x I fasting) x (G OGTTmean x I OGTTmean)], where fasting glucose and insulin data are taken from time 0 of the OGTT and mean data represent the average glucose and insulin values obtained during the entire OGTT. The square root is used to correct for nonlinear distribution of insulin, and 10,000 is a scaling factor in the equation. The higher value, the more sensitive to insulin. (NCT02635386)

Oral Disposition Index

Post-treatment in insulin-sensitivity-secretion index . The insulin secretion-sensitivity index (IS-SI) provides an estimate of β-cell compensation relative to the prevailing insulin resistance, not absolute insulin secretion. It is derived by applying the concept of the disposition index (DI) to measurements obtained during the 2-h OGTT. The IS-SI, a surrogate measure of the DI derived from the OGTT (IGI multiplied by the SIOGTT], was calculated as the product of acute β-cell response [IGI] and Matsuda index (SIOGTT) based on the existence of the predicted hyperbolic relationship between these two measures (NCT02022007)

Change in Insulin Sensitivity Measures: Insulin Sensitivity Index (ISI)

Insulin sensitivity as measured by a combination of insulin sensitivity index (ISI) which should go up after 3 month treatment period to show improvement, and insulin sensitivity (SI) which should go down after 3 month treatment period to show improvement. Note that the ISI as developed by Matsuda and DeFronzo from a calculation based on results from a standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (doi: 10.2337/diacare.22.9.1462 Diabetes Care September 1999 vol. 22 no. 9 1462-1470) is recorded as units on an arbitrary scale. SI data is based on a calculation derived from analysis of results of frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test (FSIVGTT) by Bergman et al (doi:10.1172/JCI112886/J Clin Invest. 1987;79(3):790-800) and is reported with units min-1/(µlU/L).
