Protein showdown: plant vs. animal for PCOS metabolism
NCT ID NCT07142603
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares how a single meal with plant protein versus animal protein affects metabolism, appetite, and energy use in 30 women with PCOS. Participants will eat a test meal and have their responses measured for 4 hours. The goal is to see if one protein source leads to better blood sugar and insulin control, which could help shape dietary advice for managing PCOS.
