Cardiovascular Disease, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of women in fertile age. PCOS is associated with metabolic syndrom, diabetes and and increased risk og cardiovascular disease. The study investigates the effect af intervention with GLP-1-analog on risk markers of cardiovascular disease in women with PCOS. 70 women will be included in af RCT. Hypothesis: GLP-1-analog treatment in women with PCOS (without diabetes) will result in a beneficial reduction in risk markers of vascular thrombosis and early cardiovascular disease.
Interventions
GLP-1-analogue Liraglutide s.c. 1,8mg daily for 26 weeks
Placebo s.c. daily for 26 weeks
