Statins cuts symptoms of polycystic ovary sydrome - The Times 11th November 2008

A separate study has also indicated that the hormonal condition may be linked to a shortage of vitamin D, the essential nutrient that is synthesised by the body on exposure to sunlight. This could mean that supplements of the vitamin might help affected women, though it is not yet clear whether the deficiency is a cause of PCOS or an effect.
