- Association of glucocorticoid receptor polymorphisms with clinical and metabolic profiles in polycystic ovary syndrome(2014) MACIEL, Gustavo A.Rosa; MOREIRA, Ricardo P.P.; BUGANO, Diogo D.G.; HAYASHIDA, Sylvia A.Y.; MARCONDES, Jose A.M.; GOMES, Larissa G.; MENDONCA, Berenice B.; BACHEGA, Tania A.S.S.; BARACAT, Edmund C.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate whether glucocorticoid receptor gene polymorphisms are associated with clinical and metabolic profiles in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a complex endocrine disease that affects 5-8% of women and may be associated with metabolic syndrome, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Cortisol action and dysregulation account for metabolic syndrome development in the general population. As glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1) polymorphisms regulate cortisol sensitivity, we hypothesized that variants of this gene may be involved in the adverse metabolic profiles of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. METHOD: Clinical, metabolic and hormonal profiles were evaluated in 97 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome who were diagnosed according to the Rotterdam criteria. The alleles of the glucocorticoid gene were genotyped. Association analyses were performed using the appropriate statistical tests. RESULTS: Obesity and metabolic syndrome were observed in 42.3% and 26.8% of patients, respectively. Body mass index was positively correlated with blood pressure, triglyceride, LDL-c, total cholesterol, glucose and insulin levels as well as HOMA-IR values and inversely correlated with HDL-c and SHBG levels. The BclI and A3669G variants were found in 24.7% and 13.4% of alleles, respectively. BclI carriers presented a lower frequency of insulin resistance compared with wild-type subjects. CONCLUSION: The BclI variant is associated with a lower frequency of insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Glucocorticoid gene polymorphism screening during treatment of the syndrome may be useful for identifying subgroups of at-risk patients who would benefit the most from personalized treatment.
- Metformin versus lifestyle changes in treating women with polycystic ovary syndrome(2012) CURI, Daniella D. G.; FONSECA, Angela Maggio; MARCONDES, Jose Antonio M.; ALMEIDA, Jose Alcione M.; BAGNOLI, Vicente R.; SOARES- JR., Jose Maria; BARACAT, Edmund ChadaObjective: To compare the efficacy of metformin with that of lifestyle changes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Design: Prospective, randomized clinical trial of 40 women with PCOS to analyze the effects of metformin and lifestyle intervention treatments on menstrual pattern and hormone and metabolic profile. The duration of treatment was 6 months. Statistical analysis was done using Student's t-test. Results: Fifteen women in the metformin group and 12 in the lifestyle changes group completed the study. The menstrual pattern improved by similar to 67% in both groups. There was a significant decrease in waist circumference in the lifestyle changes group (101.8 +/- 3.9 and 95.1 +/- 3.6, at baseline and at 6 months of treatment, respectively; p<0.001) and in body mass index (BMI) in both groups. The predictor of menstrual pattern improvement was BMI. Conclusions: Both metformin and lifestyle changes may increase the number of menstrual cycles in PCOS. This effect was related to a decrease in BMI.

M.; BARCELLOS, Cristiano R. G.; HAYASHIDA, Sylvia A. Y.; CURI, Daniela D. G.; FONSECA, Angela M. da; BAGNOLI, Vicente R.; BARACAT, Edmund C.One hundred forty-two women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with an average body mass index (BMI) of 29.1 kg/m(2) and average age of 25.12 years were studied. By BMI, 30.2% were normal, 38.0% were overweight and 31.6% were obese. Thirty-one eumenorrheic women matched for BMI and age, with no evidence of hyperandrogenism, were recruited as controls. The incidence of dyslipidemia in the PCOS group was twice that of the Control group (76.1% versus 32.25%). The most frequent abnormalities were low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; 57.6%) and high triglyceride (TG) (28.3%). HDL-C was significantly lower in all subgroups of women with PCOS when compared to the subgroups of normal women. No significant differences were seen in the total cholesterol (p = 0.307), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; p = 0.283) and TGs (p = 0.113) levels among the subgroups. An independent effect on HDL-C was detected for glucose (p = 0.004) and fasting insulin (p = 0.01); on TG for age (p = 0.003) and homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (p = 0.03) and on total cholesterol and LDL-C for age (p = 0.02 and p = 0.033, respectively). In conclusion, dyslipidemia is common in women with PCOS, mainly due to low HDL-C levels. BMI has a significant impact on this abnormality.
- Evaluation of macroprolactinemia in 259 women under investigation for polycystic ovary syndrome(2014) HAYASHIDA, Sylvia A. Y.; MARCONDES, Jose A. M.; SOARES JR., Jose M.; ROCHA, Michelle P.; BARCELLOS, Cristiano R. G.; KOBAYASHI, Nelly K. A.; BARACAT, Edmund C.; MACIEL, Gustavo A. R.
- Influence of LH and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) on metformin response in women with polycystic ovary syndrome(2011) MACIEL, Gustavo Arantes Rosa; HAYASHIDA, Sylvia Asaka Yamashita; COSTA, Lia Cruz Vaz da; MARCONDES, Jose Antonio Miguel; FONSECA, Angela Maggio da; SOARES JR., Jose Maria; BARACAT, Edmund ChadaObjective: To search for predictors of metformin response in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) through a detailed analysis of clinical and laboratory parameters. Study design: We designed a prospective study to investigate clinical and laboratory parameters to search for predictors of metformin response in women with PCOS. A total of 53 PCOS patients were given metformin 850 mg twice a day for 6 months, after which patients were classified as responders or non-responders. Parameters analyzed for comparison between the two groups were: plasma fasting insulin glucose/insulin ratio; oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with insulin (120 min); HOMA and QUICKI tests; total cholesterol and fractions, triglycerides; LH, FSH, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, androstenedione, 17-OH progesterone, and DHEAS. Results: From all patients, 30(56.6%) were responders and 23(43.3%) were non-responders. Multinomial analysis showed that the positive response to metformin was associated with higher levels of basal LH (p = 0.038) and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (p = 0.015). Conclusion: In weight-matched PCOS subjects, laboratory markers might predict the metformin response. Higher levels of basal LH and lower levels of HDL-C are correlated with a positive response to metformin treatment in PCOS subjects.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome and obesity do not affect vascular parameters related to early atherosclerosis in young women without glucose metabolism disturbances, arterial hypertension and severe abnormalities of lipid profile(2013) BARCELLOS, Cristiano Roberto Grimaldi; LAGE, Silvia Helena Gelas; ROCHA, Michelle Patrocinio; HAYASHIDA, Sylvia Asaka Yamashita; BARACAT, Edmund Chade; ROMANO, Angela; BRITO, Vinicius Nahime; MARCONDES, Jose Antonio MiguelThe aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity on vascular parameters related to early atherosclerosis (VP-EA) [brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and carotid arterial compliance (CAC)] in women with minor cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs). Twenty-five young women with PCOS and 23 eumenorrheic women matched for body mass index (BMI) were studied. The women were subdivided according to BMI and PCOS status, and comparisons were done between PCOS and Control group, regardless of BMI, and between Obese and Lean group, regardless of the presence of PCOS. Insulin resistance was higher in PCOS-group than in control-group and in obese-group than in lean-group. The median of all VP-EA evaluated were similar between PCOS-group and Control-group [FMD: 6.6 versus 8.4% (p = NS); CIMT: 48.0 versus 47.0 mm.10-2 (p = NS); CAC: 6.2 versus 5.6N-1.m4.10-10 (p = NS)] and between obese-group and lean-group [FMD: 7.8 versus 6.6% (p = NS); CIMT: 48.0 versus 47.0 mm.10-2 (p = NS); CAC: 5.7 versus 6.3N-1.m4.10-10 (p = NS)]. These results suggest that PCOS and obesity do not affect VP-EA in women with minor CVRFs.
