The effect of treatment of liraglutide on quality of life and depression in young obese women with PCOS and controls (2019)
Journal Article
Kahal, H., Kilpatrick, E., Rigby, A., Coady, A., & Atkin, S. (2019). The effect of treatment of liraglutide on quality of life and depression in young obese women with PCOS and controls. Gynecological Endocrinology, 35(2), 142-145. https://doi.org/10.1080/09513590.2018.1505848

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with reduced quality of life (QoL), though the role of associated obesity is unclear. In this study we examined the effects of six months treatment with liraglutide, 1.8 mg od, on obesity, depression and...
