In this review, we summarize existing research on a variety of environmental factors potentially involved in the etiology, prevalence, and modulation of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and we suggest avenues for future research. The main environmental factors we consider include environmental toxins,...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a reproductive endocrine disorder. The specific molecular mechanism of PCOS remains unclear. The aim of this study was to apply a bioinformatics approach to reveal related pathways or genes involved in the development of PCOS. Methods The next-generation sequencing...
evolution of the hyperandrogenism -polycystic ovary syndrome from isosexual precocious puberty: report of two cases Two girls who presented initially with isosexual precocity later developed the hyperandrogenism-polycystic ovary syndrome. We propose that the pathogenesis of the hyperandrogenism-polycystic...
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine condition with reproductive and metabolic implications. In the current setting there is an evolving, yet inadequate, understanding of the pathophysiology, long-term health implications and ideal therapies for women with PCOS. Insulin resistance, seco...
