Abstract
Abstract
Background
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a widespread heterogeneous disease that is in association with genetic, epigenetic, endocrine and environmental factors. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ASC) and ASC-conditioned medium (ASC-CM) have shown promising abilities in tissue regeneration. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of ASC and ASC-CM on epigenetic regulators, steroidal function and folliculogenesis in the letrozole-induced PCOS rats.
Results
Based on the measurement of the oral glucose tolerance test and physical parameters including body weight, estrus cycle pattern as well as ovary dimensions, PCOS-induced rats in sham and control (CTRL) groups showed signs of reproductive dysfunctions such as lack of regular estrus cyclicity, metabolic disorders such as increased ovary dimension, body weight and blood glucose level alteration which were improved especially by ASC-CM administration.
