Effect of Vitamin D3 on Mitochondrial Biogenesis in Granulosa Cells Derived from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder diagnosed by anovulation hyperandrogenism.Hyperandrogenism increases apoptosis, which will eventually disturb follicular growth in PCOS patients.Since mitochondria regulate apoptosis, they might be affected by high incidence of follicular atresia. This may causeinfertility. Since vitamin D3 has been shown to...

Protective Effect of Hydroethanolic Extract of Lippia citrodora L. Leaf and Vitamin D3 on Estradiol Valerate-Induced Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Mice

Background and Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the protective effect of hydroethanolic extract of Lippia citrodora L. leaf (LCE) and vitamin D3 on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in suri rats.   Methods: This experimental study was performed on 48 female suri rats with a weight range of 25-35g. The subjects were divided into 8 groups (n=6 each), namely control (food + wate...
