    <criteria>
      <inclusion_criteria>Inclusion criteria: Reproductive age women referred due to infertility. Polycystic ovarian syndrome was defined as the presence of more than 12 cysts, 2–9 mm in diameter in one plane in at least one ovary and increased stroma, usually combined with increased ovarian volume &gt;10 ml in sonography and clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism. Subjects should have normal prolactin, thyroid, renal and hematological indices. No participant had received metformin or other hormonal treatment within the 3 months prior to study. Exclusion criteria included concurrent hormone therapy within the previous 6 weeks, any chronic disease that could interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of metformin, renal or liver disease, being an smoker, doing intense physical activity, having lost 3 kg of body weight in the 2 months preceding the study</inclusion_criteria>
