| Popis: | Objective To investigate whether electro-acupuncture or physical exercise influence serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC) or ovarian volume in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Design Secondary analyses of a prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial. Setting University Hospital, Sweden. Patients Seventy-four women with PCOS recruited from the general population. Interventions Women with PCOS were randomized to 16 weeks of electro-acupuncture (14 treatments), exercise (at least three times/week), or no intervention. Main outcome measures Serum AMH recorded at baseline, after 16 weeks of intervention, and at follow up at 32 weeks. AFC, and ovarian volume assessed by magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and at follow up at 32 weeks. Results After 16 weeks of intervention, serum levels of AMH were significantly decreased in the electro-acupuncture group by 17.5% (p |
