Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the metabolic effects of anti-androgens and oral contraceptive pills OCPs compared with placebo in the treatment of women with PCOS We hypothesized that controlling elevated androgen levels with either anti-androgens or OCPs would produce improvement in metabolic markers in PCOS women and would reduce their long term metabolic risk
Detailed Description: Polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS is one of the most common conditions of young women and it is frequently associated with insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome MBS In addition affected women have significantly elevated mean low-density lipoprotein LDL levels and an increased prevalence of at risk LDL levels independent of obesity We are directly testing the role of androgens in the metabolic abnormalities in PCOS by examining the impact of direct androgen receptor blockade by anti-androgen medications and indirect suppression of androgen production through suppression of leutinizing hormone LH with oral contraceptive pills OCPs compared with placebo on visceral adiposity circulating LDL levels insulin secretion and sensitivity as measured by frequently-sampled IV glucose tolerance tests FSIGT and oral glucose tolerance tests OGTT resting energy expenditure and maximal aerobic capacity measurement

Note Originally there were 2 additional study arm Metformin only and Metformin Flutamide These study arms were ultimately eliminated and were not included in analysis of baseline characteristics or endpoints
