Research Focus
Dr. Licy Yanes Cardozo's lab focuses on understanding the relationship between obesity and blood pressure regulation in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). They investigate how hormonal imbalances and adipose tissue function can lead to insulin resistance and cardiovascular issues. Through their research, they aim to find new treatments to help manage these health complications related to PCOS.

Research Aims
3AIM 01Investigate how obesity affects blood pressure through the Renin-Angiotensin System in PCOS models.
AIM 02Examine how hyperandrogenemia influences the balance of classical and nonclassical RAS and its impact on blood pressure.
AIM 03Assess the role of adiponectin levels in mediating insulin resistance independent of obesity in PCOS.
