A study conducted at Beirut Arab University explored the impact of Gundelia tournefortii extract on polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a common endocrine disorder that affects women and increases the risk of infertility, cardiovascular diseases, and hypertension. The study used female mice with induced PCOS and treated them with the extract. The results showed that the extract reduced follicular cysts in the ovaries, decreased testosterone and estradiol levels, normalized markers of oxidative stress, and restored the expression of certain enzymes. The researchers concluded that Gundelia tournefortii extract could be a potential therapeutic agent for PCOS. [Extracted from the article] |
