To assess the efficacy and safety of the Chinese medicine Dingkun Pill (, DKP) on insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
A total of 117 women with PCOS were randomly assigned to Group A (38 women), Group B (40 women), or Group C (39 women) in a randomization sequence with SAS software and a 1:1:1 allocation ratio using random block sizes of 6, and were given 7 g of oral DKP daily (Group A), 1 tablet of Diane-35 orally daily (Group B), or 7 g of oral DKP daily plus 1 tablet of Diane-35 orally daily (Group C). Patients took all drugs cyclically for 21 consecutive days, followed by 7 drug-free days. The treatment course for the 3 groups was continued for 3 consecutive months. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were performed before treatment and again after 2 and 3 months of therapy, respectively, and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) were calculated.
Of 117 women with PCOS, 110 completed the entire course of therapy: 35 in Group A, 36 in Group B, and 39 in Group C. After treatment, all three groups showed significant decreases in fasting glucose: at 1 h glucose decreased significantly in Group A (by 0.5 ± 1.4 mmol/L, P=0.028) and Group C (by 0.5 ± 1.2 mmol/L, P=0.045); while showing a tendency to increase in Group B (by 0.4 ± 1.9 mmol/L, P=0.238). HOMA-IR decreased significantly in Group C [by 0.5 (-2.2 to 0.5) mIU mmol/L, P=0.034]. QUICKI was significantly increased in Groups A and C (by 0.009 ± 0.02, P=0.033 and by 0.009 ± 0.027, P=0.049, respectively), while no change was observed in Group B. Repeated-measure ANOVA showed that the absolute changes in all parameters (except for glucose at 1 h), including glucose and insulin levels at all time-points during OGTT and in HbA1c, HOMA-IR, and QUICKI, were not significantly different among the 3 groups after treatment (P>0.05).
DKP or DKP combined with Diane-35 produce a slight improvement in insulin sensitivity compared with Diane-35 alone in PCOS patients (Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03264638).
评估中药定坤丹(DKP)对多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)妇女胰岛素抵抗的疗效和安全性。
采用 SAS 软件产生随机序列,按 1:1:1 的比例将 117 例 PCOS 患者随机分为 A 组(38 例)、B 组(40 例)和 C 组(39 例),采用随机区组设计,区组大小为 6。A 组给予口服定坤丹 7 g/d,B 组给予口服达英-35 1 片/d,C 组给予口服定坤丹 7 g/d 联合达英-35 1 片/d。所有患者均连续服药 21 天,停药 7 天。3 组患者均连续治疗 3 个月。分别于治疗前和治疗后 2、3 个月进行口服葡萄糖耐量试验(OGTT),计算稳态模型评估的胰岛素抵抗(HOMA-IR)和定量胰岛素敏感指数(QUICKI)。
117 例 PCOS 患者中,110 例完成了整个疗程:A 组 35 例,B 组 36 例,C 组 39 例。治疗后,三组患者空腹血糖均明显下降:A 组(下降 0.5±1.4 mmol/L,P=0.028)和 C 组(下降 0.5±1.2 mmol/L,P=0.045);B 组则有升高趋势(上升 0.4±1.9 mmol/L,P=0.238)。C 组 HOMA-IR 明显下降[下降 0.5(-2.2 至 0.5)mIU·mmol/L,P=0.034]。A 组和 C 组 QUICKI 明显升高[分别升高 0.009±0.02(P=0.033)和 0.009±0.027(P=0.049)],B 组无变化。重复测量方差分析显示,治疗后 3 组各参数(1 h 血糖除外)的绝对值变化均无差异,包括 OGTT 各时间点的血糖和胰岛素水平以及 HbA1c、HOMA-IR 和 QUICKI。(P>0.05)。
与单用达英-35 相比,DKP 或 DKP 联合达英-35 可略微改善 PCOS 患者的胰岛素敏感性(临床试验注册:ClinicalTrials.gov,NCT03264638)。
