Development of hepatic steatosis and inflammation by chronic insulin and hCG exposure in female rats: possible implications in PCOS patients with NAFLD

Shao Ruijin , Zhang Yuehui , Hu Min , Billig Hakan

Accumulating clinical data suggest that women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are at high risk for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, it is not clear whether hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenism act concomitantly or independently to induce hepatic steatosis and inflammation, and the molecular mechanisms behind the interactions between insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism in the female liver remain largely unexplored. To achieve hyperinsulinemia, insul...

Loktionova Anna , Ilovayskaya Irena , Eneva Natela , Khusniyarova Karina , Nefedova Lidia , Kim Alexander , Dreval Alexander

Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is a syndrome which may be manifested clinically by low sex steroids because of low (or inappropriately normal) gonadotropins. To date, more than 30 genes were reported as possible reason for this condition, but genetic basis is still unknown for ~60% of HH cases. Due to this fact we decided to analyze mRNA expression of several HH-related genes which can be found in leukocytes of peripheral blood: GNRHR and GNRH1 (which are necessary for adequate...

Šramkova Monika , Duškova Michaela , Vitků Jana , Včelak Josef , Matucha Petr , Bradnova Olga , Cordeiro Jose , Starka Luboslav

Context: The cyclical effects of hormones during the menstrual cycle (MC) are responsible for driving ovulation. The information about roles of adipokines within the scope of MC are not definite. Leptin plays a role in sexual function and regulating the onset of puberty. Thin girls often fail to ovulate or release an egg from an ovary during menstruation cycles. Leptin also acts on specific receptors in the hypothalamus to inhibit appetite. Levels of leptin are increased in wo...

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) is thought to play a role in the pathophysiology of metabolic and inflammatory diseases. Increased ADA activity has been suggested to induce insulin resistance and inflammation. We investigated DPP-4 and ADA activities, serum nitric oxide (NO) level and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity which are the oxidative stress parameters in patients with PCOS. Fifty two women with PCOS and 41 healthy women were included in this study. Serum ADA activity...
