Article Synopsis
- Previous studies indicate that androgen effects on body weight and appetite vary based on estrogen levels in females, but the exact mechanisms remain unknown.
- The research tested the hypothesis that androgens influence oxytocin levels, an anorectic factor, in ovariectomized female rats with and without estradiol supplementation.
- Findings revealed that testosterone increased oxytocin levels and reduced appetite in estrogen-deficient rats, while having no effect in those with estradiol, suggesting a link between androgens, oxytocin, and appetite regulation influenced by estrogen levels.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with an increased risk of psychological distress as well as enhanced responses to psychosocial stress. Recently, it was hypothesized that PCOS patients may be at high risk of novel COVID-19 infections and worse clinical presentations during such infections. Here, we evaluated the effects of PCOS on stress responses to bacterial and viral mimetics using dihydrotestosterone-induced PCOS model rats.
