Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of chromium supplementation on gene expression related to insulin and lipid in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome candidate for IVF.
Design
Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial. Randomization will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers. Patients will be assigned into two groups to receive chromium supplements (n=20) or placebo (n=20)
Settings and conduct
Among patients with polycystic ovary syndrome candidate for IVF referred to Taleghani Clinic affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, 40 patients will be selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants, investigators or the assessors of the outcomes are unaware of the study groups. Supplements and placebos are similar in shape and size. Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and 8 weeks after the intervention. At the beginning and the end of the intervention: 8 weeks.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients with polycystic ovary syndrome candidate for IVF aged 18 to 40 years. Exclusion criterion: Thyroid dysfunction, diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance .
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Chromium supplements (Nature Made, California, USA), 200 µg, daily, for 8 weeks orally. Control group: Placebo (Barij Essence, Kashan, Iran) once a day for 8 weeks orally.
Main outcome variables
Gene expression related to insulin (primary outcomes) and gene expression related to lipid (secondary outcomes) will be quantified at study baseline and end-of-trial.
