Levocarnitine plus myoinositol for PCOS and insulin resistance
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for women with PCOS and insulin resistance who are having trouble getting pregnant. It tests if taking levocarnitine with myo-inositol works better than myo-inositol alone for improving hormone levels and insulin resistance.
