Female
Dr. Anuja Dokras and the PCOS Center at the University of Pennsylvania are running a research study for individuals with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) who are between the ages of 18 -and 40 and have a BMI of 25 to 48.The research study is being conducted to see if a dietary fiber supplement when combined with oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) can improve risk factors for heart health and the underlying cardiovascular disease such as cholesterol levels in overweight or obese women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The study will take place for 12 weeks and compare a group of PCOS patients that get the fiber supplement to a group who get a placebo (a harmless powder that contains no dietary fiber).If you agree to join the study the research team will collect information about your medical and gynecological history, have exams and transvaginal ultrasound, and have you fill out questionnaires, collect fasting blood samples, complete food diaries, and complete an oral glucose tolerance test. You will be prescribed OCPs and be randomized to either a dietary fiber supplement or to a placebo for 12 weeks.
