Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects many women of reproductive age, including ovarian and metabolic dysfunction. Major therapeutic goals include weight loss and improved insulin resistance. The effects of weight loss and increased insulin sensitivity of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists provide another opportunity and pathway for the treatment of PCOS patients, especially those with metabolic abnormalities. This paper reviews the metabolism and reproductive outcomes about GLP-1 receptor agonists for PCOS by searching for literatures of clinical trials from PubMed in the past 10 years, in oder to provide new ideas and clinical evidence for clinical treatment of PCOS.
