“…COX2 expression levels in ovaries of PCOS rats were elevated at both the gene and protein level in our research, and a synchronous increase in the levels of several PGs was also observed. This result contrasts with those of others reporting that the COX2 expression level and PGE concentration were not altered, but PGF2α levels were elevated in follicular fluid and granulosa cells in patients with PCOS after superovulation . This difference might be related to differences in the study objects and interventions.…”

“…Only a few studies examined the levels of StAR expression in fresh GLCs from mature follicles from PCOS patients undergoing oocyte aspiration, and the results obtained were contradictory. Sander et al concluded that women with PCOS exhibited enhanced mRNA abundance of StAR when compared with controls (Sander et al, 2011). Paradoxically, they found lower progesterone and estradiol levels than in healthy follicles.…”

“…Vitamin D stimulates the production of oestrogen and progesterone in ovarian tissue while lack of its effect on the production of testosterone may be explained by the increase in the aromatase activity [31]. In PCOS follicles, aromatase gene expression was decreased in comparison to controls, while preovulatory follicles produce higher levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and lower levels of progesterone and estradiol [32].…”
