Study on Protein Meals and PCOS
This study is for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that affects hormones, insulin levels, and reproduction. We want to see how different protein meals (plant versus animal) affect blood sugar and hunger hormones. This will help us give better diet advice to women with PCOS.
Who can join? Women aged 18-50 years with a PCOS diagnosis, a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18.5 and 35, and stable weight for 3 months. Participants must be willing to eat both plant and animal protein meals. You cannot join if you smoke, use nicotine or marijuana, have food allergies related to the study meals, have diabetes, or take certain medications like metformin.
- Length: This study involves several visits over a few weeks.
- Visits: Participants need to come to the research center for meal tests.
- Purpose: To understand how different protein sources affect women with PCOS.
If you meet the above criteria and are interested, consider participating to contribute to this important research. 😊
