Effect of Weight and Insulin Sensitivity on Reproductive Function in PCOS (PULSE)

3. mars 2022 oppdatert av: Leanne Redman, Pennington Biomedical Research Center
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common reproductive disorder in women of reproductive age and despite decades of research the etiology the disorder is not known. The characteristic hyperandrogenism and anovulation is associated with abnormal neuroendocrine function and insulin resistance. Obesity is a common correlated phenotype of Polycystic ovary syndrome and weight gain worsens the reproductive and metabolic complications. Currently there is no evidence-based treatment plan for infertility in Polycystic ovary syndrome; yet weight loss by dietary restriction and regular exercise are strongly advocated. Weight loss and increased insulin sensitivity appear to drive improvements in reproductive outcomes in women with Polycystic ovary syndrome; however, the mechanism connecting these changes with the reproductive axis is not fully understood.

Studieoversikt

Detaljert beskrivelse

The goal of this study is to determine (using dietary restriction, exercise training, metformin or no treatment), the effects of weight loss and/or improved insulin sensitivity on reproductive function (neuroendocrine and ovarian) in obese women with Polycystic ovary syndrome.

Våpen og intervensjoner

Eksperimentell: Metformin
Subjects randomized to the metformin treatment group will receive 1000 mg extended release metformin hydrochloride tablets (Bristol Myers Squibb) twice per day with food approximately 8 hours apart.

Eksperimentell: Dietary Restriction
Subjects randomized to the dietary restriction group (DR) will reduce their energy intake by 25% from their weight maintenance energy intake determined at baseline by doubly labeled water.There will be no gradual ramping of dietary restriction. The 25% energy reduction goal will apply from the first day of the intervention for a period of 24 weeks. Subjects will be asked to not modify their normal level of physical activity.
Subjects randomized to the dietary restriction group will reduce their energy intake by 25% of their weight maintenance energy intake determined at baseline. Total energy expenditure as measured by a 14-day doubly labeled water (DLW) study will be used to determine the baseline energy intake of each subject. There will be no gradual ramping of dietary restriction. The 25% energy reduction goal will apply from the first day of the intervention for a period of 24 weeks. Subjects will be asked to not modify their normal level of physical activity.
Andre navn:
  • Kaloribegrensning
  • 25% DR
Eksperimentell: Exercise
Subjects randomized to the exercise training group will complete a structured program of aerobic training 3 to 4 times per week and resistance exercises 2 times per week.

For the aerobic training component, subjects are required to meet a weekly energy expenditure target of 10 kcal per kg of body weight per week (KKW).

The resistance training program will be performed 2 days a week. The resistance program includes 9 exercises. The 9 primary exercises are seated chest press, seated row, shoulder press, lat pull down, double leg press, leg extension, leg curl, back extension and abdominal crunch.

Andre navn:
  • Aerobic og motstandstrening
Ingen inngripen: Control
Subjects randomized to the no treatment control group will be asked to continue, as normal their usual dietary and exercise regimen. Subjects will be asked to not begin diet or exercise regimens through the 24-week study or to begin medical treatment for PCOS.

Tidsramme
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Pulse Frequency
Tidsramme: Baseline and Week 24

Change in Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Pulse Frequency measured over a 12-hour period (7:00 PM - 7:00 AM).

The Mean and Standard Deviation (SD) are the number of pulses recorded on the 12-hour period (7:00 PM - 7:00 AM) and presented as the change from baseline to week 24.

Only participants who completed the PULSE trial are included in present outcome measure as the primary outcome was established as change from pre-to-post-intervention LF pulse frequency.

Tidsramme
Insulin Sensitivity Expressed as Glucose Disposal Rate (GDR)
Tidsramme: Baseline and Week 24

Change in insulin sensitivity measured by the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp.

Unit of measure established as glucose disposal rate (GDR) adjusted to account for kilograms of fat-free mass (FFM)+17.7 per minute to reflect the amount of exogenous glucose necessary to fully compensate for hyperinsulinemia and expressed as a function of metabolic body size.

Only participants who completed the PULSE trial are included in present outcome measure as the primary outcome was established as change from pre-to-post-intervention Insulin Sensitivity expressed as Glucose Disposal Rate.
