Abstract:Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exhibit sustained elevation in circulating androgens during pregnancy, an independent risk factor linked to pregnancy complications and adverse neonatal outcomes. Yet, further investigation is required to understand the precise mechanisms and the impact on cell-type specific placental dysfunction. To explore these dynamics, a PCOS-like mice model was induced with continuous androgen exposure throughout pregnancy, mimicking the human-PCOS. This resulted in impaired pl… Show more
