4. 2. Polycystic ovary syndrome – Studies of metabolic and ovarian disturbances and effects of physical exercise and electro-acupuncture

   Author : Louise Mannerås Holm; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : adipocyte size; adipose tissue; androgen excess; animal models; body composition; electro-acupuncture; insulin resistance; ovary; physical exercise; polycystic ovary syndrome;

   Abstract : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine abnormality in premenopausal women. The syndrome is characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction and polycystic ovarian (PCO) morphology. Metabolic disturbances, such as insulin resistance and obesity, are also associated with PCOS. READ MORE

5. 3. Metabolic and ovarian consequences of perinatal sex steroid programming

   Author : Camilla Alexanderson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : programming; sex steroids; insulin resistance; skeletal muscle; adipose tissue; ovary;

   Abstract : Endocrine and metabolic disturbances in adulthood may stem from insults such as nutritional and hormonal alterations that occur at critical periods in pre- or postnatal life – a process known as programming. This means that suboptimal conditions in utero and early life may contribute to adult reproductive and metabolic impairments such as type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. READ MORE

   Abstract : Type 2 diabetes is a devastating disease affecting hundreds of millions worldwide. Lipid accumulation in peripheral non-adipose tissues is a major driver of insulin resistance, a central pathophysiological defect of this disease. READ MORE

7. 5. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) : role of androgens and obesity on placental function and fetal development

   Author : Romina Fornes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting women in childbearing age with a prevalence of up to 17.8%. The syndrome is characterized by hyperandrogenism, irregular cycles and polycystic ovaries. The etiology of PCOS is unclear, but it is thought to be multifactorial. READ MORE
