[Effects of berberine on LPS /NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways in PCOS model rats].

To investigate the effects of berberine on glucose and lipid metabolism, sex hormone binding protein, adiponectin (LPS), NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) model rats. Female SD rats were randomly divided into control group, PCOS model group, berberine (0.216 g/kg) group, metformin (0.
