Summary Increased fat mass and redistribution are commonly observed in aging populations worldwide. Although decreased circulating levels of sex hormones, androgens oestrogens have been observed, the exact mechanism accumulation during remains obscure. In this study, receptor follicle‐stimulating hormone ( FSH ), a gonadotropin that increases sharply persistently with both males females, is functionally expressed human mouse tissues adipocytes. Follicle‐stimulating was found to promote lipid...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders and a leading cause subfertility. The mechanism underlying pathophysiology PCOS remains to be illustrated. Here, we identify two alternative splice variants (ASVs) androgen receptor (AR), insertion deletion isoforms, in granulosa cells (GCs) ∼62% patients with PCOS. AR ASVs are strongly associated remarkable hyperandrogenism abnormalities folliculogenesis, absent from all control subjects without...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), whose etiology remains uncertain, is a highly heterogenous and genetically complex endocrine disorder. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in granulosa cells (GCs) from PCOS patients make epigenetic insights into the pathogenesis PCOS. Included were 110 women with 119 normal ovulatory cycles undergoing vitro fertilization acting as control group. RNA-seq identified 92 DEGs unique GCs comparison Bioinformatic analysis...

Objective. To explore the effects of overweight and obesity on outcomes in vitro fertilisation (IVF) Chinese infertile patients.Study design. A retrospective cohort study was carried out 2222 normal weight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25), 379 (25 30) 27 obese (BMI ≥ women who underwent their first IVF cycles between 2002 2008. Cycle characteristics were analysed.Results. Obese required significantly higher dose rFSH (3272 IU vs. 2587 IU, p 0.001) days stimulation (11.89 ± 4.57 10.42 2.03, 0.001), but...

Abstract Background Early pregnancy loss (EPL) is a frustrating clinical problem, whose mechanisms are not completely understood. DNA methylation, which includes maintenance methylation and de novo directed by methyltransferases (DNMTs), important for embryo development. Abnormal function of these DNMTs may have serious consequences embryonic Methods To evaluate the possible involvement in human EPL, expression DNMT proteins global were assessed villous or decidua from EPL patients. The...

Abstract Accumulating evidence suggests that aquaporins (AQPs) may facilitate tumor development. The molecular pathways connecting the pathological functions of AQPs are unclear and need to be better defined. This study aimed investigate whether AQP3, one expressed highly in breast cancer, had any clinical implication estrogen-receptor (ER) positive cancer explore regulatory mechanisms AQP3 estrogen-related progression. Here we show is an important enforcer migration invasion cancer. We, for...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common metabolic and reproductive endocrinopathies. However, few studies have tried to develop a diagnostic model based on gene biomarkers. In this study, we applied computational method by combining two machine learning algorithms, including random forest (RF) artificial neural network (ANN), identify biomarkers construct model. We collected expression data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database containing 76 PCOS samples 57 normal...

The present study was designed to evaluate whether the alteration of aquaporin-9 (AQP-9) expression in granulosa cells (GCs) patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) associated hyperandrogenism follicular fluid (FF). We recruited infertile women PCOS (n = 14) and tubal blockage (controls, n 31) for this study. examined total testosterone (TT), free androgen index (FAI), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), FSH, LH estradiol FF. Real-time PCR western blotting were performed assess AQP-9...
