Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrinopathy in reproductive age, are characterized by increased cardiometabolic risk. Similar hormonal and metabolic changes were found in their siblings. The purpose of our study was to compare blood pressure-lowering and pleiotropic effects of lisinopril between sisters of women with PCOS and their unrelated peers. The study included two age-, body mass index-, and blood pressure-matched groups of women with grade 1 hypertension: 26 sisters of PCOS probands (Group 1) and 26 individuals without a family history of PCOS (Group 2), receiving 10-40 mg of lisinopril daily. Blood pressure, glucose homeostasis markers, plasma levels of lipids (androgens, estradiol, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), homocysteine, fibrinogen, and uric acid), and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) were measured before lisinopril treatment and 6 months later. At baseline, the study groups differed in insulin sensitivity, testosterone, free androgen index (FAI), hsCRP, homocysteine, and UACR. Blood pressure-lowering properties of lisinopril did not differ between the groups. The decrease in homocysteine and UACR, although observed in both groups, was stronger in Group 2 than in Group 1. Only in women without a family history of PCOS lisinopril improved insulin sensitivity and reduce hsCRP, fibrinogen, and uric acid. The remaining markers did not change throughout the study. Cardiometabolic effects of lisinopril correlated with testosterone, free androgen index, and changes in insulin sensitivity. The obtained results suggest that cardiometabolic effects of lisinopril may be slightly less pronounced in sisters of women with PCOS than in women without a family history of this disorder.
多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)女性是生育年龄最常见的内分泌疾病,其特征是心血管代谢风险增加。在她们的姐妹中也发现了类似的激素和代谢变化。我们的研究目的是比较 PCOS 女性的姐妹和无家族史的同龄人之间依那普利的降压和多效作用。该研究包括两组年龄、体重指数和血压匹配的 1 级高血压女性:26 名 PCOS 先证者的姐妹(第 1 组)和 26 名无 PCOS 家族史的个体(第 2 组),每天接受 10-40 毫克依那普利治疗。在开始依那普利治疗前和 6 个月后测量血压、葡萄糖稳态标志物、血脂(雄激素、雌二醇、高敏 C 反应蛋白(hsCRP)、同型半胱氨酸、纤维蛋白原和尿酸)和尿白蛋白与肌酐比值(UACR)的血浆水平。在基线时,研究组在胰岛素敏感性、睾酮、游离雄激素指数(FAI)、hsCRP、同型半胱氨酸和 UACR 方面存在差异。依那普利的降压特性在两组之间没有差异。虽然两组都观察到同型半胱氨酸和 UACR 的降低,但在第 2 组中比在第 1 组中更为明显。只有在无家族史的 PCOS 女性中,依那普利才能改善胰岛素敏感性并降低 hsCRP、纤维蛋白原和尿酸。其余标志物在整个研究过程中没有变化。依那普利的心血管代谢作用与睾酮、游离雄激素指数和胰岛素敏感性的变化相关。研究结果表明,依那普利的心血管代谢作用在 PCOS 女性的姐妹中可能略低于无该疾病家族史的女性。
