Summary

This study looks at whether using a CPAP machine to treat obstructive sleep apnea can help improve insulin resistance and hormone levels in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Researchers will measure changes in fat production, testosterone, and insulin in 20 women aged 18-40 with both conditions. The goal is to understand if better sleep can lead to better metabolic and reproductive health.
