About this study

Official title: Associatons of PCOS Phenotypes With Ectopic Lipids, Adipocytokines and Parameters of Insulin Resistance

In the present study glucose metabolism and ectopic lipids in the liver, heart and muscle were investigated in women with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and in healthy control subjects.

Read the detailed description

In detail an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was conducted in women with the PCOS defined by the Rotterdam and the NIH-criteria, as well as in healthy control subjects. In addition 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Imaging was used for the assessment of the ectopic lipid content in the liver, heart and skeletal muscle. The aim of the present study was to compare the glucose metabolism and the ectopic lipid conent in the liver, heart and muscle between women with the PCOS defined by the NIH-criteria, Rotterdam-criteria and healthy control subjects.

Being tested
Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Medical subject headings
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Glucose Intolerance, Fatty Liver, Glucose Metabolism Disorders

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)Diagnostic test

    For the assessment of glucose metabolism, including beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity an 75g-OGTT was conducted.

  • 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopyOther

    The amount of ectopic lipids in the liver, heart and the skeletal muscle was measured using 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of glucose metabolism between PCOS women and healthy control subjects, using data of the OGTT.

    In the present study the Glucose metabolism in PCOS women and control subjects was assessed with an OGTT. Therefore the dynamic levels of glucose, insulin and C-peptide were assessed during an extended OGTT for the calculation of Insulin resistance and beta-cell function. In addition an 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy was done for the assessment of the ectopic lipid content in the liver, heart and the skeletal muscle.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Glucose Intolerance, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of glucose metabolism between PCOS women and healthy control subjects, using data of the OGTT. (time frame: Up to 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03204461, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2017.
