Research Question: Do overweight/obese women with PCOS with different uric acid concentrations show different effects after a ketogenic diet intervention?
Design: The study involved women with PCOS with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥24 kg/m. Groups showing different uric acid concentrations were given ketogenic diet guidance for 12 weeks. Weight, BMI, body fat percentage, fasting blood glucose, triacylglyerols, total cholesterol, uric acid and other metabolism-related indexes were measured.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in neuronal activity in the preoptic area of the hypothalamus (POAH) under low estrogen condition induced by ovariectomy. One hundred and twenty sham-operated (SHAM) and ovariectomized (OVX) rats were placed in different temperatures for 2h. Twelve rats from each group were stimulated by 4°C, 10°C, 25°C, 33°C and 38°C, respectively.
