Study of insulin sensitivity differences by age and PCOS status
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the body uses insulin (insulin sensitivity) across different ages, sexes, races, body weights, and whether someone has PCOS. It may help researchers understand why insulin function varies and how PCOS could be linked to metabolic health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Get labs done after at least an 8-hour fast (no eating)

This study looks at hormone levels and metabolism in people who may have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It aims to better understand why PCOS happens, which could help improve future diagnosis and treatment.
This trial tests whether high intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can help improve insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It may offer a way to manage symptoms through exercise.
This study looks at how polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance (a condition where your body doesn't use insulin well) are linked to energy problems in cells (mitochondrial dysfunction). It aims to understand how these conditions affect fertility in women.
This study looks at how weight changes affect hormone levels and insulin resistance in women with PCOS. It may help understand if weight cycling is harmful or helpful.
This study looks at glucose levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using a continuous glucose monitor. It may help understand how blood sugar changes in women with PCOS.
This study tests whether acupuncture or the diabetes medicine metformin can improve insulin resistance in women with PCOS. It may help with hormone-related symptoms and metabolic health, comparing the two approaches against usual care for non-PCOS controls.
