research A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study on the Effects of Pioglitazone on Cortisol Metabolism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Pioglitazone improved insulin sensitivity and altered cortisol metabolism in PCOS patients.
research Detection of Urine Metabolites in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by UPLC Triple-TOF-MS
Researchers found potential urine markers for polycystic ovary syndrome, including testosterone-glucuronide and 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, which may help diagnose the condition.

research Correction of Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) Deficiency in Spf-Ash Mice by Introduction of Rat OTC Gene
The study introduced the rat ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) gene into OTC-deficient spf-ash mice, resulting in significant improvements in enzyme activity and metabolic markers. Hemizygous spf-ash mice with the transgene exhibited liver OTC activity about twice that of nontransgenic counterparts and small intestinal OTC activity 6 times higher, reaching 12% and 27% of control levels, respectively. These transgenic mice displayed normal hair growth, nearly normalized urinary orotic acid excretion, and normalized serum citrulline concentration, indicating a successful correction of the OTC deficiency.
