Gut Microbiota and the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Influence of Sex, Sex Hormones, and Obesity

María Insenser, +5 more
- 01 Jul 2018 - 
TL;DR: The diversity and composition of the gut microbiota of young adults are influenced by the combined effects of sex, sex hormone concentrations, and obesity, presenting with specific abnormalities in women with PCOS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Sex Hormones, and Obesity on Circulating miRNA-21, miRNA-27b, miRNA-103, and miRNA-155 Expression

Mora Murri, +4 more
- 13 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: The present results suggest that miRNAs that play an important role in metabolic and immune system processes are influenced by obesity and circulating androgen concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global Adiposity and Thickness of Intraperitoneal and Mesenteric Adipose Tissue Depots Are Increased in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Susana Borruel, +6 more
- 05 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: Women with PCOS have higher global adiposity and increased amounts of visceral adipose tissue compared with control women, especially in the ip and mesenteric depots, and sexual dimorphism suggests a role for androgens in body fat distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surrogate markers of visceral adiposity in young adults: waist circumference and body mass index are more accurate than waist hip ratio, model of adipose distribution and visceral adiposity index.

Susana Borruel, +6 more
- 05 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: WC and BMI are not only the simplest to obtain, but are also the most accurate surrogate markers of visceral adiposity in young adults, and are good indicators of insulin resistance and powerful predictors of the presence of hepatic steatosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-targeted profiling of circulating microRNAs in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): effects of obesity and sex hormones.

Mora Murri, +5 more
- 02 Feb 2018 - 
TL;DR: The present results suggest that several serum miRNAs are influenced by PCOS, sex hormones and obesity, and may guide the targeted search of miRNAAs as clinically relevant markers for PCOS and its association with obesity and metabolic dysfunction in future studies.
