WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- A natural compound found in the skin of grapes and red wine may assist with correcting the hormone imbalance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
In a study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, researchers concluded resveratrol can restore estrogen levels. Authors of the study say their findings help improve treatments for polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, which is a leading cause of infertility in women. An estimated 5 million to 6 million women live with the disease in the United States.
