Metformin can reduce risk of polycystic ovary syndrome in susceptible young girls. |
|
Fox News: PCOS begins with an excess of insulin in the body — similar to Type 2 diabetes. When the ovaries are exposed to too much insulin, their hormone production is altered. As the small amounts of male hormones that all females produce begin to build up, they affect the rest of a girl's body, and she develops the typical outward signs of PCOS. Metformin treats the insulin imbalance that's a driving cause of PCOS. By returning insulin levels to normal, the ovaries can produce hormones at a healthy rate.
