Background: PCOS is the most prevalent endocrine and metabolic problem in women of reproductive age. This current study was formulated to thoroughly expound the ovary-protecting effects of NOX4 deficiency in PCOS and probe into the intrinsic mechanisms underlying the protective effects of NOX4 deficiency against DHEA injury in ovarian GCs.
Methods: KGN cells were subjected to 20 nM DHEA for 48 h to establish PCOS cellular model.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Zuogui Pills (ZGP) is a classic traditional Chinese herbal formula originating from the Ming Dynasty. It has been widely used in the treatment of kidney deficiency-related diseases, including ovarian aging.
Aim Of The Study: To investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of ZGP on ovarian aging induced by the chemotherapeutic agent cyclophosphamide (CTX), as well as its impact on the therapeutic target, oogonial stem cells (OSCs), involving the Notch1/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease in which cartilage degradation is the hallmark pathological change. In this study, we investigated the anti-osteoarthritic effects of DHEA in rabbit chondrocytes. Polymerase chain reaction was performed to evaluate the expression of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS)-4, ADAMTS-5, aggrecan and collagen type 2.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) of varying severity are becoming more frequent all over the world. The process of neuroinflammation, in which macrophages and microglia are key players, underlies all types of brain damage. The present study focuses on evaluating the therapeutic potential of N-docosahexaenoylethanolamine (DHEA, synaptamide), which is an endogenous metabolite of docosahexaenoic acid in traumatic brain injury.
