Aerobic exercise in women with polycystic ovary syndrome improves ovarian morphology independent of changes in body composition
Open accessAbstract
In a prospective study, eight women with polycystic ovary syndrome completed 16 weeks of individualized aerobic exercise training. Independent of changes in body weight and adiposity there was a statistically significant increase in aerobic fitness and insulin sensitivity and a statistically significant decrease in the total number of follicles measured by magnetic resonance imaging.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
