the conversion of androgens to estrogens and progesterone synthesis [7]. Sadigh and others reported that the apoptotic and inflammation in the GC were related to the follicle, and the ovarian follicular growth was usually arrested in PCOS [8,9]. A clinical study reported that oxidative stress can induce the apoptosis of GCs in PCOS patients via the phosphoinositide 3-kinases/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway [10]. Additional studies have demonstrated increased proliferation of GCs in the ovaries of anovulatory women compared to normal ovulatory women with PCOS [11]. Similarly, Ji found that the AT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A) is downregulated in GC cells from women and in mouse models with PCOS, and the ARID1A overexpression can inhibit the PI3K/Akt pathway to
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
