Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and the Microbiome

In this episode, host Lindsey Parsons interviews Dr. Varykina Thackray, Associate Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences and a Member of the Center for Reproductive Sciences and Medicine and Center for Microbiome Innovation at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. They discuss Dr. Thackray’s recent article “Improved PCOS symptoms correlate with gut bacterial composition” and the mouse study that served as the basis for the article. They discuss Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), its causes and treatments and how her research study points to new potential avenues for treatment of PCOS involving the gut microbiome and novel probiotics.
