简要总结
The aim to evaluate whether activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in PCOS is associated with transient microstructural and metabolic changes in the female hypothalamus using MRI approaches to assess water diffusion and measure proton magnetic resonance spectra.

研究组 & 干预措施
PCOS women
26 PCOS women who receive consultation for hyperandrogenism needing treatment with Cyproterone Acetate + estradiol will be recruited.
干预措施: Cyproterone Acetate + estradiol (Drug)
Healthy volunteers
26 Healthy volunteers subjects who receive consultation contemplating oral contraceptives (Levonorgestrel, Ethinyl Estradiol 0.1-0.02Mg Oral Tablet ) will be recruited.
干预措施: Levonorgestrel, Ethinyl Estradiol 0.1-0.02Mg Oral Tablet (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC)
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months after treatment start
The change in the ADC will be analyzed in healthy volunteers and PCOS women before starting the oral contraceptives, and next during the third sequence of treatment.
次要结局
- Change in the metabolite concentrations(Baseline and 3 months after treatment start)
- Correlation coefficient (Spearman or Pearson) between the ADC and serum hormonal levels (FSH,luteinizing hormone,oestradiol, AMH)(Baseline and 3 months after treatment start)
- Plasma GnRH concentration before and after treatment (PCOS patient and control group)(Baseline and 3 months after treatment start)
- Correlation coefficient (Spearman or Pearson) between the metabolite concentrations and serum hormonal levels (FSH, luteinizing hormone, oestradiol, AMH)(Baseline and 3 months after treatment start)
- Correlation between brain metabolite concentrations and plasma GnRH concentration before and after contraception.(Baseline and 3 months after treatment start)
