Abstract:

Background: Clomiphene Citrate (CC) is the most frequently administered drug for the treatment of female infertility [e.g. polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)]; which aims at restoring ovulation. Clomiphene is metabolized by CYP2D6, an important enzyme responsible for the metabolism of approximately 25% of clinically used drugs. CYP2D6 is very polymorphic and thought to result in inter- individual differences in metabolic activity. The aim of our study was to define allelic variants of CYP2D6 gene in PCOS patients in comparison to 2 other groups used as fertile and drug response-control groups to determine whether an association between patients

P-191: Association of STK11 Gene Polymorphisms with Methformin Treatment in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background: Metformin is an insulin sensitizing drug, which is co-administered with Clominophene citrate or gonadotropins in most cases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), to improve ovulation. STK11 gene is necessary for action of metformin. Therefore the study of STK11 polymorphisms is important as pharmacogenetics aspects of metformin. The aim of our study was to investigate polymorphism of...

Naltrexone treatment in clomiphene resistant women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

BACKGROUND Endogenous opiates may affect various aspects of reproductive and metabolic function in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study evaluated long-term inhibition of the opioid system using naltrexone in clomiphene citrate (CC)-resistant women with PCOS. METHODS A group of 30 infertile females with PCOS were evaluated; all subjects were obese, hyperandrogenic and hyp...

Comparison of the effects of letrozole and clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

AIM Ovulation dysfunction is one of the most common causes of reproductive failure in infertile couples. The prevalence of this disorder in infertile women is about 30 to 40%. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common disease that is closely related to ovulation dysfunction and 7% of women of childbearing age are afflicted with it. Ovulation induction is a way to treat infertility in PCOS which is ...

Association Between the -1031 (T/C) Polymorphism of TNF-α Gene and Biochemical Factors in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background: Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) gene, as an inflammatory factor, plays an important role in reproductive physiology, especially in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the -1031 T/C polymorphism of TNF-α gene and biochemical factors in women with PCOS. Methods: In this case-control study, participants w...
