Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated how flaxseed powder affects metabolic health in women with PCOS, finding that adding flaxseed to lifestyle changes improved weight, insulin resistance, triglycerides, inflammation markers, and hormone levels compared to lifestyle changes alone.
  • Flaxseed supplementation significantly lowered insulin levels, HOMA-IR, triglycerides, hsCRP, IL-6, and leptin, while increasing QUICKI, HDL, and adiponectin, indicating better metabolic health.
  • Overall, incorporating flaxseed into treatment plans for women with PCOS seems more effective than just lifestyle modifications alone in improving key metabolic and hormonal parameters.]
