5 PCOS Weight Loss Frequency of obesity in women with anovulation and PCO: 30%-75% Ehrmann. NEJM 325:1223; 2005 Six month weight-loss program for overweight anovulatory women Results of the Treatment group: Lost an average of 6.3 kg (13.9 lbs) Decreased fasting insulin and testosterone levels Increased SHBG concentrations 92% resumed ovulation (12/13) 85% became pregnant (11/13) Clark et al. Hum Reprod 10:2705; 1995

6 PCOS Dietary Goals Change your relationship with meal time & food Consume more foods rich in complex carbohydrates monounsaturated fat fiber with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids Reduce Total caloric intake Saturated fat Cholesterol

7 PCOS Nutritional Supplements Myoinositol D-Chiro 40:1 NAC 600mg bid Cinnamon 600 mg bid Fish Oil 1,000 mg/day: Vitamin D3 Berberine Maitake Mushroom Extract Chlorogenic Acid Carbease: white kidney bean extract, coffee bean extract Garcinia Cambogia Ultra 3-in 1 Carb Blocker: chromium piccolinate, Fish Oil, white kidney bean extract, cinnamon, lipase, protease, black pepper extract Hlebowicz J,et al. Amer J Clin Nutr. 85(6):1552, 2007 Nestler J, et al. N Engl J Med. 340:1314, 1999 Oner G, et al. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 159(1):127, 2011 Fulghesu AM, et al. Fertil Steril. 77(6): Wehr E, et al. Eur J Endocrinol. 164(5):741, 2011

8 PCOS Exercise Sugar intake 10x over past 100 years As glycogen storage muscles become more insulin resistant, insulin levels rise Insulin = storage Once glycogen storage maxed, FFA stored as TG Peripheral muscle cells metabolize 80% of glucose Stored as glycogen High Intensity Interval Training Utilized during endurance cardio > 60 70% target rate & resistance training over 70% of weight max Little JP et al: Appl Physiol EPUB, 2011 Aerobic exercise 3-4x/wk min/session Burns kcal 40% improvement in insulin sensitivity lasting 48 hrs. DeFronzo RA, et al: Diabets 36:1379, 1987; Segal KR, et al: J Appl Physiol 71:2502, 1991

9 Burning Calories Muscle tissue is active tissue that burns calories and fat is inactive tissue that stores calories. 75 calories/day lb of muscle tissue. 3 calories a day per lb of fat Those trying to burn calories and lose body fat should increase muscle mass.

10 Strength Training Program 2-3 sets at 75% of max. weight load Muscle failure ~ 50 seconds or 8-10 reps 2 min break between sets 7 day rest after working each area Exercise large muscle groups first Add 5 lbs if reps > 15 Moderate to slow speed A longer period of muscle tension A higher level of muscle force A lower level of momentum A lower risk of tissue injury

11 Myoinositol versus Metformin Raffone E, et al, 2010 RCT 120 PCOS women MET vs MI+FA Results: Metformin: 50% restored ovulation 18% conceived 42 pts received MET+ FSH 37.5 IU/day 26% conceived Total pregnancy rate MET and MET+FSH: 36% Myoinositol: 65% restored spontaneous ovulation 30% conceived 38 pts received MYO+FSH 29% conceived Total pregnancy rate MYO and MYO+FSH 48%

12 Inositol vs Metformin in PCOS 128 women treated for 3 months Group A: myoinositol+d-chiroinositol Group B: metformin 1500mg Significantly better restoration of menses, pregnancy and weight loss in Group A Menses Pregnancy Inositol Metformin Hamid A, et al Evidence Based Women s Health J. 5:3; 93-98,

13 GLP-1 Receptor Agonists & PCOS Prospective 12 week study. 40 obese women with PCOS, pretreated with metformin randomized to one of three groups: [1] metformin 1000 mg BID, [2] victoza 1.2 mg QD or [3]combined metformin 1000 mg BID and Victoza 1.2 mg QD Results: Combined group of metformin and Victoza significantly more weight loss, BMI and waist circumference decreases than other groups. Jensterle Sever etal. Eur J Endocrinol. 170(3): 451, Combination therapy was superior to Byetta or metformin monotherapy in improving menstrual cyclicity, ovulation rate, free androgen index, and insulin sensitivity and reducing weight and abdominal fat. Both Byetta arms were more effective in promoting weight loss than metformin alone. Elkind-Hirsch et al, J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 93(7):2670, 2008.

14 Letrozole vs Clomiphene for Infertility in PCOS 750 women received letrozole or clomiphene for 5 cycles Rotterdam PCOS criteria years old Adequate sperm, 1 patent fallopian tube & nl uterine cavity Ovulation rate 61.7% vs 48.3% of cycles Live births 27.5% vs 19.1% L vs C 44% more likely with L No significant difference in preg loss rate Twins 3.4% vs 7.4% NS Clomiphene hot flashes Letrozole fatigue & dizziness Legro RS, et al: NEJM 371(2):

15 Metformin Who might benefit? 8 or fewer menses per year Hirsutism or elevated androgens Acanthosis nigricans History of gestational diabetes PCO appearing ovaries Family history of diabetes Fasting insulin over 10 miu/ml; 2 hour over 50 miu/ml Hypoglycemic response on 2hr IGTT Metabolic Syndrome

21 Metformin Reduces Pregnancy Loss in PCOS Retrospective study of PCOS women who became pregnant Group 1: received metformin during pregnancy (n=101) Group 2: control (n=31) Early loss rate 12.9% vs 41.9% (p=0.001) Prior SPAB: 15.7% vs 58.3% (p=0.005) Jakubowicz DJ, et al: abstract P2-427, Endocrine Society, 2001

22 PCOS Ovarian Drilling Spontaneous ovulation 60-95% Pregnancy 60-85% Requires surgery Adhesions formation 30% require ovulation meds Doesn t work in smokers

23 PCOS Stimulated Cycles Patients are often hyperresponders Reduced follicular vascularization in PCOS women Jarvela et al. Fert Steril 82:1358; 2004 Hyperinsulinema can result in higher E2/androstendione ratios and increased immature follicles Fulghesu et al.
