Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective in this proposed study is to determine the effect of dietary fish oil supplementation compared to standard care metformin treatment, and fish oil in combination with metformin on plasma lipids and apoB-remnant lipoprotein metabolism in overweight-obese young women with PCOS.

Description:

Specific Objectives;

1. To determine the effect of dietary fish oil supplementation, metformin, and fish oil in combination with metformin on fasting and non-fasting plasma TG, apoB48 and apoB100-lipoprotein concentrations.

2. To determine the physiological mechanisms associated with the effect of dietary fish oil supplementation and metformin on in vivo plasma lipid and apoB-lipoprotein kinetics. We will quantitate the in vivo production and kinetics of plasma TG, apoB48 and apoB100-lipoproteins in plasma and isolated lipoprotein fractions, using established methods.

3. To explore the effects of dietary fish oil supplementation, metformin and fish oil in combination with metformin, on plasma insulin and testosterone, and the association with changes in plasma lipids and apoB-lipoprotein metabolism.
