Abstract
Objective. To establish the effects of taurine and metformin as part of combined therapy on anthropometric parameters, a total body adipose tissue component, lipids, carbohydrate metabolism, menstrual function, and ultrasound parameters of the reproductive system in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Subjects and methods. The study included 18-45-year-old twenty-six women diagnosed with PCOS. All the patients received combined therapy with taurine and metformin for 3 months. Preoperatively and postoperatively, anthropometric examination was performed; adipose tissue content, blood pressure, and heart rate were measured; lipid levels were determined; an oral glucose tolerance test was carried out; menstrual cycle length was estimated; ultrasound monitoring of the uterus and ovaries was done. Results. Combined therapy with taurine and metformin resulted in a decrease in body mass index (p = 0.001), systolic (p = 0.022) and diastolic (p = 0.023) blood pressure, an increase in the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.018), and a more regular menstrual cycle (p = 0.010). Conclusion. Combined therapy with taurine and metform in has a positive impact on cardiovascular risk factors and improves menstrual function in women with PCOS.
