Protein power: could a High-Protein diet tame PCOS metabolic risks?
NCT ID NCT07158723
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a higher protein diet (30% of calories from protein) can improve metabolic health in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Sixty women with PCOS will follow a calorie-restricted diet for 16 weeks, with some eating more protein. Researchers will measure changes in lean body mass, fat mass, and sleep quality.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
higher protein dietary pattern
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary approach to help manage metabolic complications like insulin resistance and heart disease risk in women with PCOS.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (60 participants) testing a dietary change, not a drug. Results may not apply to all women with PCOS, and the effect may be modest or hard to sustain long-term.
