Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disease characterized by metabolic disorders. This study aimed to examine the effects of resveratrol treatment on ovulation in the PCOS rat model. Quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels. TNUEL assay was used to evaluate cell apoptosis in ovary. The metabolites were evaluated by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Resveratrol alleviated disrupted estrous cycle and improved granular cell layers, and reversed the decreased proliferation and increased cell apoptosis of granulosa cells in the ovarian tissues of PCOS rats. Resveratrol restored the changes in the mRNA expression levels in the rate-limiting genes of glycolysis in the PCOS ovary. The expression of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDH-A), pyruvate kinase isozyme M2 (PKM2), and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) was significantly downregulated in ovarian tissues of the PCOS rats; while the resveratrol treatment significantly increased the expression of LDH-A, PKM2, and SIRT1 in the ovarian tissues of PCOS rats. Collectively, the protective effects of resveratrol in the PCOS rats may be associated with the regulation of glycolysis-related mediators including PKM2, LDH-A, and SIRT1. Resveratrol may represent a good candidate in alleviating the development of PCOS.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder with various contributing factors. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying PCOS is essential for developing effective treatments. This study aimed to identify hub genes and investigate potential molecular mechanisms associated with PCOS through a combination of bioinformatics analysis and Mendelian randomization (MR).

The present study evaluated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of (CA) fruit extract against bisphenol A (BPA)-induced ovarian injury in female Wistar rats. The antioxidant activity was estimated by the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and superoxide radical (NBT) content. For the in vivo analyses, 24 animals were divided into the following 4 groups: the control group; the BPA group (50 mg/kg BW BPA for 30 days); the BPA + CA group (50 mg/kg BW BPA and 50 mg/kg BW CA); and the CA group (50 mg/kg BW CA).

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder characterized by ovarian cysts, anovulation, endocrine variations, which includes oligo-amenorrhea along with associated subfertility and hyperandrogenism manifested as acne, hirsutism, and male-pattern alopecia. Coumarins are fused benzene and pyrone ring systems that exhibit a wide spectrum of bioactivities. This study aimed to investigate the effects of 3-acetyl coumarin (3-AC) on polycystic ovarian syndrome in female rats.

Background: Besides ovarian dysfunction and infertility, individuals with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) also present a number of systemic disturbances including functional derangements in the adipose tissue which possibly aggravates the endocrinometabolic abnormality in PCOS. Epigenetic changes have been implicated in metabolic-related disorders including PCOS. However, its pathogenic involvement in adipose-ovarian dysfunction is unclear.
