    Leptin levels increase during flutamide therapy in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
    (Karger, 2003) Sahin, I; Serter, R; Karakurt, F; Demirbas, B; Guler, S; Culha, C; Taskapan, C
    Aim: To evaluate the serum leptin levels and the effects of flutamide treatment on the leptin levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: 20 women with PCOS and 20 controls were enrolled in the study. Leptin levels and leptin response to an oral glucose tolerance test were assessed in both groups before and after a 4-week flutamide therapy period. Results: The leptin levels were similar in both groups at baseline. In the PCOS group, leptin levels and area under curve for leptin levels increased significantly after flutamide treatment. Conclusions: Women with PCOS had similar leptin levels to those of controls with similar age and body mass index. Flutamide treatment led to increased leptin levels and leptin responses to oral glucose tolerance tests in PCOS patients. Further studies are needed to gain insights into the clinical consequences of these effects of flutamide. Copyright (C) 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel.

    Metformin versus flutamide in the treatment of metabolic consequences of non-obese young women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a randomized prospective study
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2004) Sahin, I; Serter, R; Karakurt, F; Demirbas, B; Culha, C; Taskapan, C; Kosar, F
    In addition to the reproductive consequences, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by a metabolic disorder in which hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance are central features. The effects and possible benefits from insulin-sensitizing, drugs are not well known, especially in non-obese women with PCOS. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of metformin and flutamide on metabolic parameters and insulin resistance in non-obese women with PCOS. Thirty non-obese women newly diagnosed with PCOS and 15 age- and weight-matched healthy volunteers as controls were included in the study. Patients were assigned randomly to receive flutamide 250 mg daily or metformin 850 mg three times daily. Glucose, insulin, insulin resistance, androgen levels and glucose and insulin responses to an oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were assessed before and after a 4-week therapy period. A positive correlation was found between body mass index and insulin level in patients with PCOS and controls. Follicle stimulating hormone.
