Recently, the negative effects of advanced glycation end products on the pathophysiology of some diseases have attracted attention. This study was planned to evaluate the effect of dietary intervention and weight loss on serum advanced glycation and disease pathogenesis in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
The significantly increased consumption of processed foods in recent years has also increased the amount of sugar and fat in the diet. These changes in dietary habits also increase exposure to advanced glycation end products. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are the products occurred as a result of the Maillard reaction by the combination of the carbonyl group of carbohydrates and the free amino groups of amino acids. Advance glycation end products causes irreversible cross-linking of proteins, resulting in loss of protein structure and function. Advanced glycation end products formation is a slow process in normal conditions, but chronic diseases such as diabetes, insulin resistance, aging, oxidative stress and PCOS accelerate the occurrence of endogenous AGEs. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that is characterized by hyperandrogenism, oligo/anovulation and polycystic ovaries and it affects up to 25% of reproductive-aged women. Women with PCOS have been shown to have an increase in the levels of AGEs in the bloodstream and the expression of proinflammatory receptors of AGEs in the ovaries, such as RAGE. In addition, the levels of protective anti-inflammatory receptors called soluble receptors for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) were found to be low in women with PCOS. Patient with PCOS in particular have high levels of serum AGEs, regardless of their body weight or the presence of insulin resistance. In this project, aimed to investigate effect of a diet with reduced energy and fat content and a low AGE diet with reduced energy and fat content for 12 weeks in overweight and obese individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome. Body composition, anthropometric measurements, serum AGE levels, serum antioxidant capacity, inflammation, cardio metabolic profile, hormonal profile, and also Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) values will be examined in individuals and the results will be evaluated by comparing diet groups. Volunteers participating in the study will apply one of two different dietary treatments to be determined by stratified randomization method for 12 weeks. The smallest sample size was calculated as a total of 24 patients, 12 patients in each intervention group, taking into account the change in serum AGE value at 80% power and 95% confidence intervals.
