Aim:Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are at high risk for obesity-related disorders, insulin resistance (IR), and metabolic syndrome (MS). Adopting potent approaches to diet enhances cardiometabolic risk profile and reproductive function. Different types of diets have provided conflicting results so far. We aimed to investigate whether dietary acid load (DAL) contributed to the metabolic process in PCOS.
 Material and Method: This study included 46 newly diagnosed PCOS patients and 46 healthy individuals with matched age, sex, and BMI. Clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical measurements were obtained. We extracted net endogenous acid production (NEAP) and potential renal acid load (PRAL) scores from 24-hour dietary data recorded on a nutrient database program for three days (BeBiS software program).
 Results:We concluded no statistically significant difference between the groups by NEAP (p=0.569) and PRAL (p=0.969).Patients with PCOS had higher fasting insulin levels and HOMA-IR (p
