Chiglitazar improves hormone-induced polycystic ovary syndrome in rats

Updated

Abstract

Chiglitazar improved ovulation in rats with (PCOS) and may offer a novel therapeutic strategy.

  • Chiglitazar and pioglitazone both alleviated PCOS symptoms, with chiglitazar showing a greater impact on lipid levels and weight gain.
  • Both treatments resulted in notable recovery in oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide output, alongside significant improvements in glucose tolerance and .
  • Chiglitazar treatment led to increased levels of adiponectin and decreased levels of serum insulin, androgens, luteinizing hormone, and the luteinizing hormone to follicle-stimulating hormone ratio.
  • In the chiglitazar-treated group, significant decreases were observed in triglycerides, free fatty acids, and atherosclerosis index compared to the PCOS model group.
  • Enhanced ovarian health was indicated by increased granulosa cells and healthy follicles, along with elevated ovarian steroidogenic enzymes.
