Summary

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy of reproductive-aged women characterized by chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. Available guidelines recommend lifestyle intervention although they do not suggest the best dietetic regimen for the treatment of PCOS. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two nutritional protocols, namely Mediterranean Diet and standardized normocaloric Diet in normal weight women with PCOS.
