Abstract
Is N-acetylcysteine a better Insulin Sensitizer than Metformin in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome?
The primary objective of this study was to examine the effect of NAC on IR by HOMA-IR compared to that of MET in PCOS patients. The secondary objectives were to study their effects on other parameters: BMI, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, serum testosterone and clinical improvement of hyperandrogenic features.
