Updated

Abstract

The evaluation focuses on liraglutide combined with pioglitazone in obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

  • Liraglutide and pioglitazone may improve clinical efficacy and safety in treating obesity-related issues in PCOS patients.
  • Serum chemerin and visfatin, along with their ratio, could serve as predictive markers for the improvement of insulin resistance.
  • The study investigates the relationship between these biomarkers and insulin resistance in the context of PCOS.
