Diamel Therapy in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Reduces Hyperinsulinaemia, Insulin Resistance, and Hyperandrogenaemia

Abstract EN

For to determine the effect of Diamel on the insulin resistance, insulin sensitivity, and sexual hormones results in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

A study was carried out on 37 patients with this disorder.

A triple-blind clinical trial was designed in which the Diamel food supplement was compared with a placebo.

The women with reproductive ages were randomly distributed in two groups, with 18 and 19 women respectively, and they took Diamel or placebo and were followed up during 6 months with clinical and biochemical evaluation.

A significant decrease in the HOMA-IR from the initial value at six months was observed in the group with Diamel.

The insulin sensitivity improved considerably in this group.

The rate of menstrual recovery was higher in the group with Diamel, and two patients from this group obtained pregnancy.

The hormone levels shows a significant decrease in testosterone at 3 months in the group with Diamel compared with the control group.

The LH also decreases in the same group when comparing the start with 6 months.We concluded that the Diamel decreases insulin resistance and improves sensitivity to this hormone in women with PCOS, with improvement in the levels of LH and testosterone.
