Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of curcumin supplementation on metabolic profiles and gene expression related to insulin and lipid in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Design
Study design: Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial, All participants will have stratified randomization according to BMI (<25 and ≥25 kg/m2) and age (<30 and ≥30 y). Then, participants in each block will be randomly allocated into two groups. Randomization will be done by the use of computer software.
Settings and conduct
Among patients with polycystic ovary syndrome referred to Kosar Clinic affiliated to Arak University of Medical Sciences, 60 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 12 weeks after the intervention. At the beginning and the end of the intervention: 12 weeks
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome aged 18 to 40 years. Exclusion criteria: Individuals with neoplastic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, malabsorptive disorders, and current or previous (within the last 6 months) use of hormonal; antidiabetic and anti-obesity medications
Intervention groups
Intervention group: 500 mg curcumin, once a day, for 12 weeks orally. Control group: Placebo (Barij Essence, Kashan, Iran), once a day, for 12 weeks orally.
Main outcome variables
Outcomes: Markers of insulin metabolism (primary outcomes) and lipid profiles and gene expression related to insulin and lipid (secondary outcomes) will be quantified at study baseline and end-of-trial.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
To decrease potential confounding effects, all participants will have stratified randomization according to BMI (<25 and ≥25 kg/m2) and age (<30 and ≥30 y). Then, participants in each block will be randomly allocated into two treatment groups to take either supplements or placebo. Randomization will be done by the use of computer software.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Randomization and allocation will be concealed from the researchers and participants until the final analyses are completed. Another person at the Shabihkhani clinic, who is not involved in the trial and not aware of random sequences, will be assigned the participants to the numbered bottles of capsules
