Polyphenols in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Perspective
Journal Title: International Journal of Food, Nutrition and Dietetics - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common hormonal endocrine disorders that affects around 5- 10 percent women of childbearing age and is characterized by abnormal hormone levels. Natural polyphenolic compounds found in plants known as flavonoids ( catechins ) and non-flavonoids (resveratrol, chlorogenic acids) have recently become very popular. This review article is an attempt to present the findings of scientific studies with regard to beneficial effects of polyphenols on humans affected by pcos. Relevant Papers were identified from Science Direct, Google Scholar and pubmed by using all combinations of the search terms related to polyphenol and pcos.
