Study Description

Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to learn about the effect of licorice root powder on parameters of metabolic syndrome in those women diagnosed with PCOS with age range of 15-49 years of age. The study aims to answer the following questions: * Will licorice root powder consumption will have an impact on parameters of metabolic syndrome which are HDL levels, triglycerides, fasting blood pressure and blood glucose levels and abdominal obesity related to PCOS. * Will licorice help in lowering stress scores and improve quality of life. Females with diagnosed PCOS will be recruited in the study and will be randomly allotted to two groups. One group will be intervention group and second will be control group. Participants in intervention group will be given 1000mg of licorice root powder in form of capsules (1 per day). Control group will not take anything. For both groups, SF-12 health survey, and readings of lipid profile, fasting blood glucose and blood pressure and central obesity will be taken. Researcher will compare readings of both groups at baseline and after 3 months of intervention to assess the effect of licorice root powder.

Detailed Description: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder which is characterized by ovarian cyst, irregular menses and elevated androgen levels whereas metabolic syndrome (metS) includes presence of 3 out of 5 conditions which are abdominal obesity, high blood glucose levels, high blood pressure, high triglyceride levels and low HDL levels. Metabolic syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome have a two-way relationship. The risk of development of metS in PCOS females is five-fold higher than non-PCOS females. If PCOS is not addressed timely then it can lead to infertility. Herbal treatments and ayurvedic medicine is thought to be effective in treating PCOS. A lot of data is available which shows positive results using herbs like cinnamon, aloevera etc but data on licorice root powder is limited. Licorice is one of the oldest herb and has anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antiobesity, hypolipidemic and so many other properties which makes it very useful herb. The objective of this study is to evaluate antidiabetic, hypolipidemic and anti-inflammatory properties of licorice root powder on metabolic syndrome related to PCOS. The study will also observe effect of licorice on stress levels using SF-12 questionnaire. The study will be conducted in seven steps. Step 1 is the preparation of licorice root powder capsules. Step 2 is recruitment of participants. Participants will be recruited from universities and hospitals after checking their ultrasound report or diagnosis of PCOS by doctor. Step 3 is dividing the participants into two groups which are control and intervention group based on randomization. Step 4 is conduction of baseline testing of both groups of abdominal obesity, TGL, HDL, BGL, BP and stress levels. Step 5 is administration of capsules for 3 months. Step 6 is post-interventional testing. Similar tests will be done as baseline testing. Step 7 is data analysis. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software and paired sample t test will be used for results interpretation.
