Abstract
In brief: Brown adipose tissue impaired in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) plays a crucial role in the treatment of PCOS. This study shows that myricetin potently improves PCOS by activating brown adipose tissue (BAT).
Abstract: PCOS is a complex endocrine disease characterized by hyperandrogenism, anovulation and polycystic ovary, and is often accompanied by metabolic disorder such as insulin resistance. BAT has been considered as a promising target for the treatment of obesity and other metabolic disease. In this study, we showed that 3 weeks of myricetin (a compound from natural product) treatment improved metabolic capacity and insulin sensitivity by activating BAT in dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-induced PCOS mice. Furthermore, increased number of corpus luteum and decreased cystic formation were observed in PCOS mice. With the hormone levels such as luteinizing hormone (LH) were reversed, estrous cycle was also normalized after myricetin treatment. Eventually, myricetin markedly improved reproductive defects in PCOS mice. In short, our results suggest that myricetin treatment dramatically ameliorates ovarian dysfunction and metabolic disturbances in PCOS and provides a novel perspective for the treatment of PCOS.
期刊介绍:
Reproduction is the official journal of the Society of Reproduction and Fertility (SRF). It was formed in 2001 when the Society merged its two journals, the Journal of Reproduction and Fertility and Reviews of Reproduction.
Reproduction publishes original research articles and topical reviews on the subject of reproductive and developmental biology, and reproductive medicine. The journal will consider publication of high-quality meta-analyses; these should be submitted to the research papers category. The journal considers studies in humans and all animal species, and will publish clinical studies if they advance our understanding of the underlying causes and/or mechanisms of disease.
Scientific excellence and broad interest to our readership are the most important criteria during the peer review process. The journal publishes articles that make a clear advance in the field, whether of mechanistic, descriptive or technical focus. Articles that substantiate new or controversial reports are welcomed if they are noteworthy and advance the field. Topics include, but are not limited to, reproductive immunology, reproductive toxicology, stem cells, environmental effects on reproductive potential and health (eg obesity), extracellular vesicles, fertility preservation and epigenetic effects on reproductive and developmental processes.
