| Summary: | Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is commonly linked to abnormal secretion of sex hormones, leading to disruptions in normal ovarian function. Vitamin E, a powerful lipid-soluble vitamin, has been extensively reported to have numerous positive health effects on the female reproductive system. Despite the existing studies, specific reports on the effects of vitamin E on hormonal regulations in PCOS are limited. Therefore, this paper aims to review the available reports on this topic, providing a reference for future studies on vitamin E and PCOS. © 2024 Jalani et al. |
