This is a randomized controlled trial of two diets (low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diet) in the treatment of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The trial assesses the effects of the two diets on clinical, metabolic and hormonal parameters, inflammatory markers and gut microbiota . This study is an interventional, randomized controlled trial, open-labeled.
The study aims to clarify the impact of nutritional recommendations for women with polycystic ovary syndrome on clinical, metabolic and hormonal parameters, inflammatory markers and gut microbiota . Women with PCOS are randomized into 2 treatment groups: one group on a low-carbohydrate diet and the other on a Mediterranean diet. The adhearance to a prescribed diet will be controlled through food intake diaries using a mobile application with electronic reporting forms.
