Abstract in brief

  • The study found that both high-protein low-glycemic load (MHCD) and conventional hypocaloric diets led to significant weight loss in women with PCOS, with additional benefits such as decreased testosterone levels, but no substantial changes in reproductive hormones, blood lipids other than LDL cholesterol, or inflammatory markers except for LDL cholesterol which was reduced in both groups.
  • The high-protein low-glycemic diet (MHCD) specifically resulted in significant improvements in insulin levels, insulin resistance (assessed by HOMA), and inflammation marker hsCRP, suggesting enhanced metabolic health beyond just weight loss.
  • Overall, implementing a high-protein low-glycemic load diet alongside calorie restriction could be particularly effective for improving metabolic and endocrine parameters in overweight and obese women with PCOS.]

同時にアンドロゲン（男性ホルモン）が減り体内の炎症レベルも大幅に改善した https://t.co/DhJKDdkMsw 残りのカロリーで良質な脂質をとる 脂肪はホルモンの材料になるので適切な摂取が必須 https://t.co/2aql1LpgHk 良質な食材を選ぶ エストロゲンが多すぎる場合は 1日15g以上の食物繊維をとる 食物
