The mechanisms involved in the action of metformin in regulating ovarian function in hyperandrogenized mice.

TL;DR: Investigation of the mechanisms by which N,N'-dimethylbiguanide metformin prevents the ovarian disorders provoked by the hyperandrogenization with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in prepuberal BALB/c mice found it to prevent the increase of ovarian iNOS and COX2 expressions and to enhance the activation of phosphorylated AMPK-alpha expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of obesity in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome

TL;DR: It has been reported that, after losing as little as 5 % of initial body weight obese women with PCOS improved spontaneous ovulation rates and spontaneous pregnancy, therefore, the weight loss prior to conception improves live birth rate in obesity women with or without PCOS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of the N, N'-dimethylbiguanide metformin in the treatment of female prepuberal BALB/c mice hyperandrogenized with dehydroepiandrosterone.

TL;DR: Results indicate that metformin is able, directly or indirectly, to avoid the endocrine and immune alterations produced when mice are hyperandrogenized with DHEA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired immune responses in streptozotocin-induced type I diabetes in mice. Involvement of high glucose.

TL;DR: Results indicate that HG concentrations can directly affect lymphoid cell growth and suggest that prolonged exposure to pathologically HG concentrations would result in the immunosuppressive state observed in diabetes.
