OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that statins improve hyperhomocysteinemia in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
DESIGN: A prospective randomized study.
SETTING: University Hospital.
PATIENT(S): Fifty-two women with PCOS and 52 women matched for age and body mass index as controls.
INTERVENTION(S): Patients were randomly divided into two groups for treatment: group 1, atorvastatin, 20 mg daily (n = 26), and group 2, simvastatin, 20 mg daily (n = 26). Blood samples were obtained before and after treatment.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Serum homocysteine levels.
RESULT(S): After 12 weeks of treatment, serum homocysteine levels in group 1 had decreased from 14.3 +/- 2.9 to 10.6 +/- 1.7 micromol/L; in group 2, the levels decreased from 13.6 +/- 2.1 to 11.1 +/- 1.9 micromol/L. Both two groups, free testosterone and total testosterone declined statistically significantly (38.3% and 36.5%; and 40.6% and 46.0%, respectively). In group 1, vitamin B(12) increased from 362.1 +/- 107 to 478.7 +/- 267 pg/mL; in group 2, it increased from 391.3 +/- 107 to 466 +/- 211 pg/mL, but the change did not reach statistical significance. There was a considerable decline in the homeostatic model assessment index in group 1 (40.0% to 32.1%).
CONCLUSION(S): Treatment with statins in women with PCOS leads to decreases in serum homocysteine levels.
