Abstract
Since the lack of certainty in identifying polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) demonstrates confusion regarding the disorder's pathophysiology and its therapeutic approaches, systematic screening of women under diagnostic guidelines of the NIH reported that about 4-10 percent of reproductive women aged 20-44 years suffer from PCOS. Not all females with PCOS-defining biochemical and clinical characteristics and about 22% of PCOS women have no symptoms. PCOS is a heterogeneous phenotypic and clinical condition, combined with metabolic implications. The root cause of PCOS is the major issue of IR or irregular androgen secretion and constant effort is being made in identifying the dynamic pathogenic network underlying the syndrome. Regardless of PCOS initiating cause, IR therapy and hyperinsulinemia can restore metabolic and hormonal homeostasis, and minimize ovarian dysfunction. Thus, the impact of insulin on ovaries in hyperinsulinemic individuals can account for many of the PCOS characteristics and is important for developing treatment strategies. Therefore, our primary aim is to investigate the proper understanding of endocrine disruption during PCOS and secondary to the therapeutic potential of inositol in reestablishing the equilibrium of ovarian dysfunction, anovulation, and eventually infertility.
