Abstract in brief

  • This study examined how reducing carbohydrate intake in women with PCOS affects their insulin sensitivity, cell response, and testosterone levels, finding that a lower-carb diet improved these metabolic markers.
  • A lower-carbohydrate diet led to decreases in fasting insulin, overall insulin resistance, and testosterone levels, while increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.
  • These benefits suggest that modest carbohydrate reduction, within a balanced diet, might help manage PCOS symptoms by improving metabolic health.
