First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a light fasting diet combined with magnesium supplements can improve cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and lower oxidative stress in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Forty-six women will follow the diet and take either magnesium or a placebo for two months. Researchers will measure changes in blood fats and markers of inflammation before and after the treatment.
