Research Article: Effect of Hypoglycemic Drugs on Kisspeptin Expression in the Hypothalamic Arcuate Nucleus of PCOS Rats
Abstract:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), first discovered by Stein et al in , is a relatively common reproductive endocrine disease among women of reproductive age, and it has become the main cause of female infertility. Currently, approximately %-% of women worldwide suffer from PCOS. Patients mainly present with hyperandrogenemia (HA), ovulation failure, ovarian polycystic changes, and insulin resistance (IR). Among them, hyperandrogenemia and insulin resistance are important mechanisms for the occurrence and development of PCOS. Because studies have shown that approximately %-% of PCOS patients have abnormal glucose metabolism, improving insulin resistance has become a significant goal of PCOS treatment.
