Fish Oil, Metformin & Heart Health in PCOS

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have high testosterone levels which is associated with altered insulin-glucose metabolism and an adverse blood lipid profile, predisposing them to the development of Type II Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). This study will investigate the use of dietary fish oil supplementation as a safe and effective intervention, and as an adjunct therapy to standard of care treatment with metformin to improve heart health, blood lipids and insulin-glucose metabolism in women with PCOS, and those with PCOS and Type 2 Diabetes.

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES The objective in this proposed study is to determine the effect of dietary fish oil supplementation with metformin compared to standard of care metformin-alone treatment for 12 months on plasma lipids and apoB- remnant lipoprotein metabolism, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and cardiac function in high-risk overweight-obese young individuals with PCOS. This study will provide evidence-based research on the efficacy of fish oil, in the form as an adjunct therapy to standard treatment with metformin, as a safe nutritional treatment to add to therapeutic guidelines to reduce early CVD risk in young women with PCOS. Specific Objectives; 1. To quantify carotid intimal medical thickness (cIMT) and plaque height before and after the intervention to assess the effect of fish oil supplementation combined with metformin standard of care on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and cardiac function. 2. To determine the effects of dietary fish oil supplementation combined with metformin and metformin standard of care on fasting and non-fasting plasma TG, apoB48 and apoB100-lipoprotein concentrations, and cardiac function variables including left ventricular (LV) posterior wall thickness, LV ejection fraction. 3. To assess the effect of dietary fish oil supplementation on insulin, glucose, and endocrine parameters. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
