Destressing Math Collective with Jo Amuso
Jo Amuso '24 will give a talk titled, "Analyzing Potential Effects of Ozempic on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Treatment." Snacks will be served starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Math Lounge.
Abstract: Semaglutide, better known by its brand name Ozempic, is a drug used to treat Type 2 diabetes. Ozempic has also shown promise as a treatment for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a hormone imbalance in people with uteruses often characterized by an abnormal menstrual cycle and insulin resistance. However, the mechanisms behind PCOS are not clearly understood, and the reasons behind the effectiveness of Ozempic as a PCOS treatment remain unclear. By modeling both the levels of reproductive hormones and insulin in the bloodstream with systems of ordinary differential equations, we can form hypotheses about the relationship between Ozempic and PCOS.
