Impact of short‐term ketogenic diet on sex hormones and glucose‐lipid metabolism in overweight or obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

A short-term ketogenic diet provides greater weight loss and more significant improvements in fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, and liver enzymes compared to traditional comprehensive interventions in overweight or obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Key Points

To compare the clinical effects of a 3-month ketogenic diet against a standard comprehensive intervention on sex hormone levels and glucose-lipid metabolism in overweight or obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Conducted a comparative clinical study of 70 overweight or obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome treated between December 2022 and December 2023.
Assigned patients to 3 months of either a ketogenic diet (N = 35) or a comprehensive intervention consisting of lifestyle modifications and oral contraceptives (N = 35).
Measured pre- and post-treatment body weight, BMI, sex hormones (LH, FSH, total testosterone), glucose-lipid markers (FBG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TG, HDL-c), and liver enzymes (ALT, AST).
Both groups had significant decreases in body weight, BMI, LH, LH/FSH ratio, and total testosterone (all p < 0.05), with the ketogenic diet group achieving significantly greater weight and BMI reductions (p < 0.05).
The ketogenic diet significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, triglycerides, ALT, and AST (all p < 0.05), with a greater reduction in fasting blood glucose compared to the comprehensive group (p < 0.05).
The comprehensive intervention significantly decreased fasting blood glucose and ALT while increasing HDL cholesterol (all p < 0.05), but did not significantly alter triglycerides or AST.
