Metformin and Thiazolidinediones are insulin sensitizers used as the first-line treatment of PCOS, which are recently being examined for their extensive beneficial impacts at biochemical and molecular level of body function in Polycystic ovary syndrome. Therefore, purpose of this review is to compare the effectiveness of Metformin and Thiazolidinediones on vascular endothelial function in PCOS. MEDLINE (1966- October 2018), CINAHL (1982 to October 2018), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrane Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Group trials register (October 2018) and Google Scholar were searched electronically without language restriction. Three Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were selected with a total of 90 participants comparing effect of Metformin (Intervention) to Thiazolidinediones (Comparator) with an outcome on endothelial function among women with PCOS. In results, Meta-analysis shows no statistically significant difference on endothelial-dependent vasodilation between Metformin and Thiazolidinedione (p value= 0.59 at 95% CI - 1.31, 0.74).
