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: Mosses retain soil humidity and prevents its degradation, besides are habitat for little invertebrates.
Explanation: Mosses are non-vascular plants (they don't have conductive vessels as xylem and phloem) that live places as tree trunks, rocks, walls and soils. This habitats must be humids because mosses need water for nutrient transport, because they don't have cuticle (prevents water lost) and for fertilization. Mosses are important for the ecosistems where they live because retain water in the soils thus prevent erosion and harbor invertebrates as Tardigrades (water bears).
Answer:
the answer would be D deep ocean to trench.
Explanation:
because trenches are the deepest part of the ocean and the deeper you go the higher the pressure
C) coyote is your answer.
The food web works as:
producers, primary consumers, secondary consumer, tertiary consumers.
Tertiary consumers are made up of mostly carnivore animals (and some omnivores, like humans).
hope this helps
