Abstract

For several years there is an evidence for a relationship between the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and of insulin resistance; therefore metformin, an insulin sensitizer, is used for the treatment for more than 10 years. However, the evidence for metformin is assessed controversially. This review will give an overview about the data published on this topic.
