  • Protocol summary

    Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of inofolic supplementation on metabolic profiles in patients of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Study design: Parallel clinical trial. Randomization will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers. Inclusion criteria: Patients with PCOS according to Rotterdam criteria aged 18 to 40 years. Exclusion criteria: Unwillingness to cooperate. Population and sample size: Among patients with PCOS referred to Kosar Clinic affiliated to Arak University of Medical Sciences, 60 patients will be selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Intervention: Patients will be assigned into two groups to receive inofolic (n=30) or metformin (n=30). Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and 12 weeks after the intervention. At the beginning and end of the intervention: 3 months. Outcomes: Hormonal profiles (primary outcomes), inflammatory factors, and gene expression related to inflammation (secondary outcome) will be quantified at study baseline and end-of-trial.

    هدف: هدف این مطالعه تعیین اثرات مکمل یاری اینوفولیک بر پروفایل های متابولیک در بیماران مبتلا به سندروم تخمدان پلی کیستیک است. طراحي انجام مطالعه: کارآزمایی بالینی موازی. تصادفی سازی با استفاده ازجدول اعداد تصادفی ایجاد شده توسط کامپیوتر انجام خواهد شد. معیار ورود به مطالعه: بیماران مبتلا به سندروم تخمدان پلی کیستیک بر اساس معیار روتردام در محدوده سنی 18 تا 40 سال. معیار خروج از مطالعه: عدم تمایل به همکاری. حجم نمونه و جمعیت مورد مطالعه: از بین بیماران مبتلا به سندروم تخمدان پلی کیستیک ارجاع شده به کلینیک کوثر وابسته به دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اراک، 60 بیمار بر اساس معیار های ورود و خروج از مطالعه انتخاب خواهند شد. مداخله مورد مطالعه: بیماران به دو گروه برای دریافت اینوفولیک (30=n) یا پلاسبو (30=n) اختصاص داده خواهند شد. نمونه خون ناشتا در ابتدای مطالعه و 12 هفته بعد از مداخله از بیماران گرفته خواهد شد. زمان مداخله: 3 ماه. پيامدها: پروفایل های هورمونی (پیامدهای اولیه)، فاکتورهای التهابی و بیان ژن مرتبط با التهاب (پیامدهای ثانویه) در ابتدا و انتهای مداخله اندازه گیری خواهد شد.
