Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PEMOS), also known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), is a common disorder affecting women's reproductive health, characterized by symptoms such as hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. Current treatments have limitations, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Parquetina nigrescens, a medicinal plant from West Africa, shows promise in managing PEMOS due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and reproductive-modulating properties.
