Fish Oil, Metformin and Heart Health in PCOS
Cardiovascular Disease | PCOS | Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease | Atherosclerotic Plaque | Cardiac HypertrophyWomen with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have high testosterone levels which is associated with altered insulin-glucose metabolism and an adverse blood lipid profile, predisposing them to the development of Type II Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). This study will investigate the use of dietary fish oil supplementation as a safe and effective intervention, and as an adjunct therapy to standard of care treatment with metformin to improve heart health, blood lipids and insulin-glucose metabolism in women with PCOS, and those with PCOS and Type 2 Diabetes.
