Protocol summary

Study aim
A comparative study of the effect of two drugs, atorvastatin and glucophage, on plasma insulin resistance and follicular fluid changes (the amount of antioxidants and oocyte growth factors) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Design
Clinical trial with a control group, randomized, phase 3 on 50 patients. The block method was used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
It was done in Zainbiah hospital in Shiraz and both groups took medicine orally for 6 weeks: the first group took 40 mg of atorvastatin every night after dinner, the second group took 500 mg of glucophage three times a day after meals.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Entry criteria: age 18-40 years, no thyroid disorder, Cushing's syndrome, hyperprolactinoma, no kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, lipid profile disorder, no cardiovascular disease and blood pressure, no use of ovarian function stimulating drugs or hormonal drugs within 3 months. In the past, no use of insulin-sensitive drugs or lipid profile in the past 3 months, no smoking, no alcohol, no use of addictive substances, no breast cancer, no drug contraindications, no malabsorption, and minimal abnormal resistance to insulin. Exclusion criteria:Body mass more than 30 kg/m2 and body mass less than 19 kg/m2
Intervention groups
50 random samples will be selected and divided into two treatment groups: atorvastatin or case group (25) and glucophage or control group (25 people)
Main outcome variables
The effect of two drugs, glucophage and atorvastatin, on plasma insulin resistance: follicular fluid antioxidants: BMP15 and GDF9 levels in granulosa cells

Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
According to the Rotterdam criteria (the presence of two criteria for the diagnosis of polycystic ovaries 1- oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea 2- clinical or laboratory findings of hyperandrogenism 3- the presence of polycystic ovaries in ultrasound examination) the diagnosis of PCOS has been confirmed in them Age 18-40 years Absence of thyroid disorder, Cushing's syndrome, hyperprolactinoma Absence of kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, lipid profile disorder No history of cardiovascular disease and blood pressure Not using ovarian stimulation drugs or hormonal drugs in the last 3 months Not using insulin-sensitive drugs or lipid profiles in the last 3 months not smoking non-alcoholic No use of addictive substances Not having breast cancer Absence of medicinal contraindications Absence of malabsorption Having a minimally abnormal amount of insulin resistance

Randomization description
The random assignment method in this study will be permutation block method in such a way that A represents the person who receives the case and B represents the person who receives the control. receives This method is implemented by considering blocks of 2 so that the total number of possible binary permutations is equal to 2. 2 blocks including: AB and BA. The desired random list of 50 items, which includes 25 blocks of 2 items (total number of samples = 50 x 25) is generated and the order of allocation of each of the methods to the samples participating in the study is determined. The way to use the table of random numbers is that a starting point is randomly selected and 25 numbers are randomly selected (row or column) and the permutation assigned to each number is noted (the order of placement of the permutations next to each other from left to right will be to the right) and how to allocate all 50 people to two groups A and B will be determined.

Primary outcomes

1

Description
The amount of insulin resistance is measured based on the HOMA index. The amount of fasting insulin is multiplied by the amount of fasting sugar and the resulting number is divided by 22.5, which is equal to 1 in normal people.
Timepoint
The amount of insulin resistance is measured once before the intervention in two groups and again after the intervention in two groups
Method of measurement
Measuring insulin resistance: the amount of fasting insulin is multiplied by the amount of fasting sugar and the resulting number is divided by 22.5, which is equal to 1 in normal people.

Secondary outcomes

1

Description
Changes of MDA (malon-di-aldehyde) in follicular fluid
Timepoint
After the intervention, it is measured in the follicular fluid and compared with the standard value
Method of measurement
Using a commercial measuring kit of malondialdehyde kiazist

2

Description
Examination of TAC (Total Antioxidant Capacity) in follicular fluid
Timepoint
After the intervention and comparison with the standard value
Method of measurement
Using a commercial kit to measure TAC is key

3

Description
Investigation of catalase changes in follicular fluid
Timepoint
After the intervention and comparison with the standard value
Method of measurement
Using the commercial kit for measuring catalase of Kiazist company

4

Description
