Abstract
Background. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by hyperandrogenism, obesity, dyslipidemia, irregular menstrual cycles, and changes in ovarian morphology. Therefore, it is important to investigate whether an individualized exercise program influences body composition, lipid profile, mental health, and ovarian cysts.
Methods. An 18-year-old woman diagnosed with type 1 classic PCOS participated in a 9-week (1-week familiarization and 8-week intervention) individualized exercise program that included resistance training (3 days per week) and aerobic exercise (3 days per week). Outcome measures included BMI, waist-hip ratio, body fat percentage, lipid profile, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and ovarian size at baseline and post-intervention.
Results. There was a notable improvement in all measured outcomes: BMI decreased from 28.1 kg/m² to 24.6 kg/m²; waist-hip ratio reduced from 0.88 to 0.81; body fat percentage dropped from 34.1% to 29.1%; total cholesterol declined from 174 mg/dL to 152 mg/dL; triglycerides decreased from 167 mg/dL to 154 mg/dL; LDL decreased from 91 mg/dL to 82 mg/dL; HDL decreased from 67 mg/dL to 59 mg/dL. Anxiety and depression scores also improved. The left ovary size decreased from 2.75 × 1.58 cm to 2.1 × 1.2 cm, while the right ovary size decreased from 3.55 × 2.33 cm to 2.9 × 1.9 cm.
Conclusion. The results indicate that an individualized exercise program can effectively improve body composition, lipid profile, mental health, and ovarian morphology in young women with PCOS. However, further studies on a larger population are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
This study is about the use of rice bran as a snack for people with degenerative diseases of diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are the highest cause of death and result in loss of productive days for sufferers and companions. To overcome this problem, the study aims to test rice bran cookies with 30% substitution on glucose levels, cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels in experimental animals so that they can be recommended as healthy cookies low in sugar and low in fat for a snack for people with diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. This type of research is an experiment. Research location of the Inter-University Center Experimental Animal Laboratory (PAU) Gadjah Mada University (UGM). The initial stage is to prepare 15 male Sprague Dawley (SD) male white rats weighing 250-300 grams and in closed cages. Rats measured blood glucose levels, total cholesterol and triglycerides. Furthermore, the rats were grouped into 3 groups, and 2 groups were given an injection of streptozotocin (STZ) to make the rats diabetic. Group 1: 5 healthy rats fed a standard diet, group 2: 5 diabetic rats fed a standard diet, and group 3: 5 diabetic rats fed with rice bran cookies. Drinking water is given ad libitum and feeding is given every morning. Furthermore, weighing and analysis of blood glucose levels, total cholesterol, and triglycerides were carried out on the seventh, tenth, seventeenth, twenty-fourth, thirty-first, and thirty-eighth days. The results showed that 30% substitute bran cookies were able to reduce glucose levels, cholesterol levels, and serum triglyceride levels so that they could be recommended as a snack for people with diabetes mellitus and people with dyslipidemia.
