Insulin resistance improvement by cinnamon powder in polycystic ovary syndrome: A randomized double‐blind placebo controlled clinical trial
Our aim is to assess the effect of cinnamon powder capsules on insulin resistance , anthropometric measurements , glucose and lipid profiles , and and rogens of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome ( PCOS ) . Out of 80 women that were diagnosed as PCOS by Rotterdam Criteria , 66 were enrolled in this r and omized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial . All of the PCOS women were taking medroxy progesterone acetate 10 mg/day for the last 10 days of their menstrual cycles . The cases were r and omly allocated to 2 groups . The women in the first group were treated by cinnamon powder capsules 1.5 g/day in 3 divided doses for 12 weeks and the second group by similar placebo capsules .  Anthropometric measurements , fasting blood sugar , fasting insulin , blood glucose 2 hr after taking 75 g oral glucose , HbA1c , testosterone , dehydroepi and rosterone sulphate , homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance , triglyceride , and cholesterol ( low-density lipoprotein , high-density lipoprotein , and total ) before and after the intervention were evaluated and compared as outcome measures . Fasting insulin ( p = .024 ) and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance ( p = .014 ) were reduced after 12 weeks in the cinnamon group compared with the placebo . There was also a significant decrease in low-density lipoprotein in cinnamon group ( p = .004 ) as compared with baseline that caused significant difference with placebo ( p = .049 ) . However , changes in other outcome measurements did not lead to statistically significant difference with placebo . The present results suggest that complementary supplementation of cinnamon significantly reduced fasting insulin and insulin resistance in women with PCOS
