Effect of NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Effect of NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) Intervention on Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

The purpose of the study is to understand the effect of Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) on patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of NMN on reproductive endocrine and metabolism, chronic inflammation, and reproductive outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and to explore its underlying mechanisms to provide the intervention strategies for PCOS.
