| Primary | Brachial Artery Flow-mediated Dilation (FMD) | Brachial artery FMD, the percent change in brachial artery diameter following release of transient occlusion, was selected as the primary outcome because it is the most widely used research tool for evaluating the effects of interventions on endothelial function. FMD has been shown to predict longterm cardiovascular events, even in patients with no apparent heart disease. | All analyses were performed by intention-to-treat. | Posted | | Mean | Standard Deviation | % change in brachial artery diameter | | baseline and 6 weeks | | | | ID | Title | Description |

| This study was initiated as a pilot study with the goal of enrolling 19 women in each group, which we hypothesized would provide 80% power to detect an absolute difference in the change in FMD from baseline between the two groups (Atorvastatin vs. Placebo) of 3.75%, assuming a common standard deviation (SD) of 4%, using a two-sided, two-sample t-test with α=0.05. Recruitment was slow due to strict inclusion/ exclusion criteria so we analyzed our data after the first 20 women completed the study. | Linear mixed-effects models | Linear mixed-effects models were fit to continuous outcomes to assess the change from baseline to 6 weeks between groups. | 0.58 | All hypotheses tests were two-sided. | Mean Difference (Net) | -2.0 | | | 2-Sided | 95 | -9.3 | 5.3 | | |

| Secondary | Peak Brachial Artery Conductance (BAC) | Pneumatic cuffs were positioned on the upper arm and wrist of the experimental arm. The brachial artery was imaged using an ATL Doppler ultrasound probe (5-12MHz linear array scanhead, HDI 5000, Advanced Technology Laboratories, Bothell, WA). Mean blood flow velocity (MBV) and brachial artery diameter (BAD) were recorded at baseline. Then the wrist cuff was inflated to 200-250 mmHg. After a minute, with the wrist cuff still inflated, the arm cuff was inflated to 200-250 mmHg. After 10 minutes the arm cuff was released to induce reactive hyperemia in the brachial artery. Upon release of the arm cuff, we continuously measured blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and MBV, and intermittently measured BAD in the experimental arm. Brachial artery conductance (BAC)was calculated as MBV/MAP and FMD was calculated as percent change in BAD from baseline. | All analyses were performed by intention-to-treat. | Posted | | Mean | Standard Deviation | ml/sec/mm Hg | | baseline and 6 weeks | | | | ID | Title | Description |

| Post-Hoc | Mean Ovarian Volume | Pelvic ultrasound was performed using the 6.5 megahertz (MHz) probe of an ATL 400 machine to characterize ovarian size and morphology.
