While many signaling pathways contribute to the pathogenesis of POF, to date no sufficient data exist on the AMPK and AKT signaling pathways in irradiated ovaries. Both AMPK and AKT play crucial roles in the process of folliculogenesis. Vildagliptin (vilda) is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor with modulatory effect on both AMPK and AKT.
