AB  - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex disorder characterized by endocrine and metabolic abnormalities such as obesity and insulin resistance. PCOS is also associated with psychiatric disorders and cognitive impairment. The animal model of PCOS was induced by treating rats with 5α dihydrotestosterone (5α-DHT) and additionally modified to induce adiposity by litter size reduction (LSR). Spatial learning and memory were assessed using the Barnes Maze test, and striatal markers of synaptic plasticity were analyzed. Striatal insulin signaling was estimated by the levels of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1), its inhibitory phosphorylation at Ser307, and glycogen synthase kinase-3α/β (GSK3α/β) activity. Both LSR and DHT treatment significantly decreased striatal protein levels of IRS1, followed by increased GSK3α/β activity in small litters. Results of the behavioral study showed that LSR had a negative effect on learning rate and memory retention, whereas DHT treatment did not induce impairment in memory formation. While protein levels of synaptophysin, GAP43, and postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) were not altered by the treatments, DHT treatment induced an increasein phosphorylation of PSD-95 at Ser295 in both normal and small litters. This study revealed that LSR and DHT treatment suppressed insulin signaling by downregulating IRS1 in the striatum. However, DHT treatment did not have an adverse effect on learning and memory, probably due to compensatory elevation in pPSD-95-Ser295, which had a positive effect on synaptic strength. This implies that hyperandrogenemia in this setting does not represent a threat to spatial learning and memory, opposite to the effect of overnutrition-related adiposity.

AB  - PURPOSE Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex reproductive disorder often associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. Hormonal changes in PCOS may also include altered glucocorticoid signaling. Our aim was to examine whether alterations in hepatic glucocorticoid signaling are associated with disturbances of glucose and lipid metabolism in animal model of PCOS. METHODS Female rats, 3 weeks old, were subcutaneously implanted with 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) or placebo pellets for 90 days to induce PCOS. Expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11βHSD1) and A-ring reductases (5α and 5β), as well as intracellular distribution of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and expression of its regulated genes were examined in the liver. Proteins of hepatic lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and markers of inflammation were also assessed. RESULTS DHT treatment induced increase in body and liver mass, as well as in triglycerides and free fatty acids levels in plasma. Elevation of 11βHSD1 and reduction of 5α-reductase expression was observed together with increased hepatic corticosterone concentration and nuclear GR activation. Induced expression of Krüppel-like factor 15 and decreased expression of genes for proinflammatory cytokines and de novo lipogenesis (DNL) were detected in the liver of DHT-treated rats, while DNL regulators and proinflammatory markers were not changed. However, increased mRNA levels of stearoyl-CoA desaturase and apolipoprotein B were observed in DHT animals. CONCLUSIONS DHT treatment stimulated hepatic glucocorticoid prereceptor metabolism through increased corticosterone availability which is associated with enhanced GR activation. This does not affect gluconeogenesis and DNL, but could be linked to stimulated triglyceride synthesis and hypertriglyceridemia.

AB  - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex reproductive disorder that
is usually associated with metabolic disturbances such as obesity, dyslipidemia
and insulin resistance. In this study, female rats treated with nonaromatizable
5α dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were used as an animal model of
PCOS. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of inflammation in liver and visceral adipose tissue (VAT), which accompanies metabolic
disturbances in animal model of PCOS. Female (21 days old) Wistar rats
were treated subcutaneously with DHT pellets, while control animals received
placebo pellets. Glucose, triglycerides, free fatty acids (FFA) were
determined in blood plasma, while corticosterone was analyzed both in plasma
and liver. Expression of genes and proteinsinvolved in lipid metabolism,
such as sterol regulatory element binding protein1 (SREBP-1), fatty acid
synthase (FAS) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), lipin-1, adipose tissue
triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), were analyzed
in the VAT of treated rats. Tissue inflammationevaluated by nuclear
factor kappa B (NFκB)protein level and intracellular distribution, as well as
by TNFα, IL6 and IL1β mRNA levels. Glucocorticoid signaling was examined
at the level of 11 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD1)
and 5α-reductase, as well asby glucocorticoid receptor (GR) leveland its
subcellular distribution. The results showed that DHT treatment induced increase
of lipogenic factors (SREBP-1, lipin-1, FAS and PEPCK), while the
level of lipolytic enzyme HSL was decreasedin VAT. These molecular alterations
were accompanied by adipocyte hypertrophy, visceral obesity and
elevated plasma FFA and triglyceride concentrations. Those changes in lipid
metabolism were possible trigger for low-grade inflammation observed in
the VAT and characterized by NFκB activation and increasedIL6 and IL1β
mRNA levels. In spite of increased VAT proinflammatory mediators, the
level of proinflammatory cytokines, IL6 and IL1β, was decreased in the liver
of DHT-treated rats, while the activation of NFκB remained unchanged.
The state of suppressed inflammation in the liver could be an outcome of
stimulated glucocorticoid signaling, as judged byincreased hepatic corticosterone
level and GR activation. The augmentation of hepatic glucocorticoids
could be a net result of increased expression of 11βHSD1 and decreased
expression of 5β-reductase mRNA. In conclusion, the results showed that
abdominal obesity and dyslipidemia in the animal model of PCOS were accompanied
with hypertrophic adipocytes, lipid accumulation and low-grade
inflammation in the VAT. However, these metabolic disturbances did not resultin
hepatic inflammation due to increased tissue levels of glucocorticoids.

AB  - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disease in women during reproductive age. It was shown that PCOS women are with high risk for dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. These factors are considered to represent traditional risk factors for the occurrence of cardiovascular disease. Observed increased risk for hypertension in PCOS women seems to be associated with insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. Both conditions interfere with the endothelium-dependent vasodilatation mechanisms causing vascular muscle wall hypertrophy. Obesity and insulin resistance are considered key factors for the alteration of blood pressure in PCOS women. Higher cardiovascular risk is implicated in PCOS with aging and its consequent association with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The elements of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) have an impact on endothelial dysfunction as a marker of cardiovascular damage that could be modified is women with PCOS. Androgens and components of RAAS are involved in the process of atherogenesis in PCOS women. Therefore, it is hypothesized that spironolactone treatment could ameliorate endothelial dysfunction in PCOS women. Recently it was shown that telmisartan, angiotensin II receptor antagonist poses insulinsensitizing capacity to activate PPAR gamma and mediate favorable metabolic and reproductive effects in hypertensive PCOS women.

AB  - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease in women during the reproductive period. True PCOS phenotype is prone to develop metabolic consequences during life. Obese PCOS women with insulin resistance are carrying a risk for developing type 2 diabetes, and influencing liver function by generating liver steatosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Moreover, serum testosterone of over 3 nmol/L is associated with at least two-fold higher risk for the development of NAFLD in PCOS women. Numerous genes involved in the pathogenesis of hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance and inflammation are associated with the development of NAFLD in PCOS women. Liver biopsy is not considered as the first line procedure for the diagnosis of liver damage in a prevalent condition as PCOS. Therefore, simple and reliable surrogate markers as serum aminotransferases levels or surrogate indexes (i.e. fatty liver index and NAFLD-fatty liver score) could be used for the assessment of fatty liver in PCOS women. First line therapeutic approach for NAFLD in PCOS includes a change in lifestyle that implies dietary regiment and physical activity but without well-defined protocols. Second line therapy considers addition of drugs on the established lifestyle change. Metformin remains the drug of choice for reduction of insulin resistance and liver enzymes level.

abstract = "Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease in women during the reproductive period. True PCOS phenotype is prone to develop metabolic consequences during life. Obese PCOS women with insulin resistance are carrying a risk for developing type 2 diabetes, and influencing liver function by generating liver steatosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Moreover, serum testosterone of over 3 nmol/L is associated with at least two-fold higher risk for the development of NAFLD in PCOS women. Numerous genes involved in the pathogenesis of hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance and inflammation are associated with the development of NAFLD in PCOS women. Liver biopsy is not considered as the first line procedure for the diagnosis of liver damage in a prevalent condition as PCOS. Therefore, simple and reliable surrogate markers as serum aminotransferases levels or surrogate indexes (i.e. fatty liver index and NAFLD-fatty liver score) could be used for the assessment of fatty liver in PCOS women. First line therapeutic approach for NAFLD in PCOS includes a change in lifestyle that implies dietary regiment and physical activity but without well-defined protocols. Second line therapy considers addition of drugs on the established lifestyle change. Metformin remains the drug of choice for reduction of insulin resistance and liver enzymes level. Liraglutide, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, showed favorable effects on the reduction of liver fat content and visceral adipose tissue in overweight women with PCOS. Current review analyzes the impact of metabolic risk factors, diagnostic approach and management options on NAFLD in women with PCOS.",

AB  - This study aimed to analyze the measurement properties of the Health-related quality of life questionnaire for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOSQ-50) in a sample of Serbian women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Seventy-six women with PCOS from an endocrinology clinic and 28 healthy women participated between October 2016 and March 2017. The measure was rigorously translated and culturally adapted into Serbian. Psychometric evaluation included descriptive analysis, internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficient), test-retest reliability (intraclass-correlation coefficient - ICC) and construct validity testing. Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranged from 0.67 to 0.96 for domain scales of PCOSQ-50 scores, while the ICCs for test-retest reliability for these domains ranged from 0.66 to 0.89. Women with PCOS had significantly lower scores than healthy women for hirsutism, obesity and menstrual disorders and the total PCOSQ-50 scale score (p ≤ 0.03), but not for the psychosocial and emotional, fertility, sexual function, and coping scales. These results show that the Serbian PCOSQ-50 measure is acceptable and could produce reliable and valid assessments of PCOS-related quality of life for at least four out of seven domains. Considering that validity testing is an iterative process, additional work is needed before the whole measure is used in routine clinical practice.

AB  - Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a reproductive and metabolic disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, visceral obesity and insulin resistance. PCOS is also associated with enhanced cortisol metabolite excretion, as well as with altered peripheral glucocorticoid metabolism, which is inevitably linked to insulin resistance characteristic for women with PCOS. The main enzymes involved in glucocorticoid prereceptor metabolism are 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD1) that regenerates corticosterone from its inactive precursor, and 5α and 5β reductases (5αR and 5βR) that inactivate corticosterone. In this study, female rats treated with nonaromatizable 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were used as an animal model of PCOS and the aim was to examine whether this treatment affects hepatic glucocorticoid prereceptor metabolism.
Methods: We analyzed the effects of prolonged treatment of prepubertal rats with DHT on body and liver masses, and plasma and liver corticosterone levels. The expression of hepatic 11βHSD1, hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PDH), 5αR, 5βR and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot methods.
Results: DHT treatment induced an increase in body and liver masses, an elevation of hepatic 11βHSD1 expression and a reduction of 5αR mRNA level, leading to tissue corticosterone rise and GR nuclear accumulation. In addition, H6PDH and 5βR mRNA levels remained unchanged.
Conclusion: DHT treatment affected hepatic glucocorticoid prereceptor metabolism through enhanced corticosterone availability and its decreased inactivation, which led to enhanced GR activation. Further studies should reveal possible link between enhanced hepatic glucocorticoid signaling and metabolic disturbances observed in PCOS.

AB  - Background: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) changes cortisol dynamics and indicates dissociation between the adrenal cortex and the hypothalamo-pituitary unit. The aim of this study was to assess the cortisol response after stimulation with ACTH(1-24) in patients with SIRS at admission to the Respiratory Intensive Care Unit (RICU),and seven days later.

Methods: Fifty-four subjects were included in the study, and SIRS was defined according to the Consensus Conference criteria from 1992. Severity of the disease was determined using the APACHE II score, and organ dysfunction using the SOFA score. Low-dose (1 mu g) ACTH test (LDT) was performed in all patients, and cortisol was determined along with basal ACTH. Data were analyzed using parametric and nonparametric tests and regression analysis. The results are presented as mean +/- standard deviation, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: There were no differences in cortisol values between the two LDTs. Cortisol increment lower than 250 nmol/L during the LDT was found in 14/54 (25.9%) subjects at the onset of SIRS. Five out of 54 (9.6%) patients died within 7 days from the onset of SIRS. Female sex and maximal cortisol response (Delta max) on LDT predicted the duration of hospitalization in RICU, while APACHE II and SOFA scores best predicted the duration of hospitalization, mortality outcome as well as overall survival outcome.

Conclusions: A difference was found in Delta max at the diagnosis of SIRS and seven days later. Delta max, and primarily the clinical scores APACHE II and SOFA predicted the outcomes of hospitalization and overall survival.

Postoji povećan relativni rizik za nastanak anovulatornog infertiliteta u žena sa izraženom gojaznošću i produženo vreme do koncepcije.

Postoji veliki broj dokaza u prilog postojanja bliskog odnosa adipokina, gojaznosti, metaboličkog sindroma i reproduktivnih posledica. Redukcija težine za 5-10% dovodi do poboljšanja u kliničkim, metaboličkim i reproduktivnim karakteristikama, kao što je slučaj u žena sa PCOS. Primena insulinskih senzitajzera vodi sniženju hiperinsulinemije, insulinske rezistencije, uspostavljanju normalne menstrualne cikličnosti i ovulacije kod značajnog broja žena sa PCOS. Gojaznost može uticati na stimulaciju ovulacije njenim produžavanjem, povećanjem doze gonadotropina, incidence folikularne asinhronije i prekida stimulacije. Hirurško lečenje gojaznosti predstavlja alternativni vid terapije u slučaju kada ni promena načina života ni farmakoterapijske mere ne daju povoljne rezultate. Za sada ne postoji dovoljno dokaza u prilog preporuke da se barijatrijska hirurgija koristi u lečenju gojaznih žena sa PCOS.

Redukcija težine za 5-10% dovodi do poboljšanja u kliničkim, metaboličkim i reproduktivnim karakteristikama, kao što je slučaj u žena sa PCOS. Primena insulinskih senzitajzera vodi sniženju hiperinsulinemije, insulinske rezistencije, uspostavljanju normalne menstrualne cikličnosti i ovulacije kod značajnog broja žena sa PCOS. Gojaznost može uticati na stimulaciju ovulacije njenim produžavanjem, povećanjem doze gonadotropina, incidence folikularne asinhronije i prekida stimulacije. Hirurško lečenje gojaznosti predstavlja alternativni vid terapije u slučaju kada ni promena načina života ni farmakoterapijske mere ne daju povoljne rezultate. Za sada ne postoji dovoljno dokaza u prilog preporuke da se barijatrijska hirurgija koristi u lečenju gojaznih žena sa PCOS.",
