A group of Chinese women with PCOS who were receiving treatment saw several metabolic and hormonal imbalances improve after taking BBR. The primary consequences may be connected to the modifications in body composition in obesity and dyslipidemia. For the evaluation of the possible beneficial metabolic effects of BBR in women with PCOS, additional controlled trials are required.
PCOS:
- Objective: Insulin resistance is a common metabolic and reproductive condition called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) (IR). A quinoline derivative alkaloid known as berberine (BBR) has been utilized as an insulin sensitizer and is isolated from Chinese medicinal herbs. There may be a therapeutic benefit for PCOS from BBR. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of BBR and metformin (MET) on the metabolic characteristics of PCOS-affected women.
- Design and methods: Ninety nine PCOS and IR patients were randomly assigned to one of three therapy groups: BBR+ compound cyproterone acetate (CPA;
), MET
CPA
, and placebo CPA 
for 
months. Before and after the treatment period, metabolic and hormonal measures as well as the clinical characteristics of the women were evaluated. - Results: Reduced waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR;P<
), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC; P<
), as well as increased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG; P<) were all observed following treatment with BBR as compared to MET. Similarly, BBR treatment decreased WHR, fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin, homeostasis model evaluation for IR, area under the insulin curve, TC, LDLC, and TG (P<), while increasing HDLC and SHBG (P<) as compared to placebo.

Answer:
The area around the "Sahara Desert" is slowly changing into a "dry region", "similar to the desert". "Trait encoding" for "short plant structure" to "reduce transport of water" is "most likely to be selected" in the "population of plants growing" in this region.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.
For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 3.2 kg each time. Then the measurement is very precise.
Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.
For Example: If the mass of a substance is 32 kg and one person weighed 31 kg and another person weighed 29 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.
According to the question:
Mass weighed by Mary = 10.00 g
Mass weighed by Tommy = 10 g
As, mass weighed by Mary is reported upto 2 decimal places. Thus, it is more precise.
Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
