Summary
This early-stage trial tests whether bicalutamide, a drug that blocks male hormones, can reduce liver fat and stiffness in women with PCOS and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). About 50 women aged 18-42 will receive either the drug or a placebo for a short time. The goal is to see if blocking certain hormones can slow liver damage in this high-risk group.
