AIM: To evaluate sCD40L levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who use combination therapy with metformin and oral contraceptives.
METHODS: Total of 60 patients with PCOS was studied to evaluate and compare with a non-PCOS group consisting of 30 subjects. A low-dose oral contraceptive containing ethinyl oestradiol-cyproterone acetate (EE/CA) and metformin (M; 850 mg metformin twice a day) were given for three cycles. Plasma sCD40L was measured before and after the treatment of 3 months.
RESULTS: At baseline, the sCD40L levels of the patients with PCOS was significantly higher than those of control subjects (3.1 ± 2.0 vs. 2.05 ± 1.0, respectively; p=0.002). An average of 3 months of EE/CA-M therapy induced a significant decrease of sCD40L levels in the PCOS group (3.1 ± 2.0 vs. 2.5 ± 1.0; p=0.026). After having treated patients with PCOS, the sCD40L level was not completely normalised when compared to the healthy controls (2.5 ± 1.0 vs. 2.05 ± 1.0; p=0.039).
CONCLUSIONS: PCOS is associated with elevated levels of sCD40L. Adding metformin therapy to EE/CA may decrease sCD40L levels in women PCOS. However, after the treatment for PCOS subjects, the sCD40L was not completely normalised when compared patients to healthy controls.
