Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a prevalent endocrinopathy involving androgen excess, and anovulatory infertility. The disorder is also associated with many comorbidities such as obesity and hyperinsulinemia, and an increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic symptoms are highly variable, with heterogenous phenotypes adding complexity to clinical management of symptoms. This review highlights recent findings regarding emerging therapies for treating polycystic ovary syndrome, including i) pharmacological agents to target androgen excess, ii) modulation of kisspeptin signalling to target central neuroendocrine dysregulation, and iii) novel insulin sensitisers to combat peripheral metabolic dysfunction.
