Abstrakt:	Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) represents 75% of the cases of anovulatory infertility. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of aspirin on dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) - induced polycystic ovary syndrome in Wistar rats. Methods: Twenty eight (28) pre-pubertal female Wistar rats of 21 days old weighing 16 - 21 g were divided into 4 groups (7 rats/group) and treated as follows; group I received distilled water and served as Control; Group II received 6 mg/100 g body weight DHEA in 0.2 ml of oil subcutaneously to induce PCOS. Group III received 7.5 mg/kg of aspirin orally; Group IV received 6 mg/100kg of body weight of DHEA in 0.2ml of oil subcutaneously and 7.5 mg/kg of aspirin orally. After 15 days of administration, the rats were slaughtered by cervical dislocation. Blood samples and ovaries were collected for reproductive hormonal analysis, biochemical and histopathological analysis. The expressions of mRNA androgen receptor (AR) gene in the ovary were determined by real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). All the data was analyzed using one way ANOVA with the Graph pad prism software version 6. A p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The results obtained showed that dehydroepiandrosterone treatment caused significant decrease (p<0.05) in total protein, superoxide Dismutase (SOD), glutathione-s- transferase (GST), Ca 2+ ATPase, and significant increase (p<0.05) in malondialdehyde, vascular endothelial growth factor, tumor necrosis factor and estrogen as compared to Controls. The group co-administered with DHEA and aspirin showed significant increases in SOD, GST, CAT, GSH, Progesterone, Ca 2+ ATPase, Na + ATPase, H + ATPase and significant reduction (p<0.05) in malondialdehyde, VEGF, TNF-α and estrogen as compared with the DHEA group. The histopathological analysis showed reductions in cystic fibrosis, atretic ovaries, increased expression of Bcl-2 and E- Cadherin and reduced Bax expression in the group that received Aspirin and DHEA. Conclusion: This study clearly demonstrates that Aspirin has ameliorating effects against polycystic ovary syndrome via anti-inflammatory and hormonal modulatory pathways.
