The effects of synbiotic yogurt supplemented with inulin on the pathological manifestations and gut microbiota–bile acid axis were investigated using a dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-induced polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) mice model. Female C57BL/6J mice were injected subcutaneously with DHEA at a dose of 6 mg/100 g BW for 20 days to establish a PCOS mouse model. Then, the PCOS mice were treated with yogurt containing inulin (6% w/w) at 15 mL/kg BW for 24 days. Results showed that supplementation of synbiotic yogurt enriched with inulin to PCOS mice decreased the body weight gain, improved estrus cycles and ovary morphology, and reduced the levels of luteinizing hormone while increasing the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and interleukin-22 in serum. At the genus level, synbiotic yogurt increased the relative abundance of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Akkermansia. PICRUSt analysis indicated that KEGG pathways including bile acid biosynthesis were changed after inulin-enriched synbiotic yogurt supplementation. Synbiotic yogurt enriched with inulin also modulated the bile acid profiles. In conclusion, inulin-enriched synbiotic yogurt alleviated reproductive dysfunction and modulated gut microbiota and bile acid profiles in PCOS mice.

Abstract The exact pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common neuroendocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, has not been fully elucidated. Recent studies suggested that chronic inflammation and neurotransmitter disorder involved in the progress of PCOS. Troxerutin, a natural flavonoid, was reported to possess neuroprotective effect in several disease models by inhibiting inflammation or enhancing neurotrophic factor. In this study, we investigated the possible protective effect and mechanism of troxerutin in a dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced rat model of PCOS. The PCOS rat models were treated with troxerutin at a dose of 150mg/kg or 300mg/kg for up to 4 weeks. Results showed that 300mg/kg troxerutin significantly decreased the body weight gain and improved the pathological changes of ovary induced by DHT. Meanwhile, the elevated gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), gonadotrophin and testosterone in the serum of PCOS rats were reduced with the treatment of troxerutin. The expression of kisspeptin and NKB in arcuate nucleus and their receptors kiss1r and NK3r in GnRH positive neurons of median eminence were markedly decreased in troxerutin-treated rats. Of note, the GnRH inhibitory regulator GABA and stimulatory regulator glutamate were also restored to the normal level by troxerutin. The present study indicated that troxerutin may exhibit a protective effect in PCOS rat model via regulating neurotransmitter release.

Abstract Background: Etiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is unclear. Recent reports indicated that gut microbiota regulates metabolism and plays a major role in the development of PCOS. The present study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of dihydrotestosterone or letrozole on the gut microbiome in rats.Methods: We used dihydrotestosterone (DHT) or letrozole (LET) to induce PCOS model rats. At the end of the experiment, ovarian morphology, hormonal and metabolic status were investigated in all rats. We analyzed the gut microbiome of rats by deep sequencing the 16S rDNA V3-V4 hypervariable regions. Predictive metagenomics profiling using PICRUST revealed functional alternation of the KEGG pathways in rats.Result: Rats induced by letrozole exhibited endocrine and reproductive characteristics, such as hyperandrogenism, abnormal oestrus cycles or complete acyclic, polycystic ovaries, and obesity. DHT-induced rats were obesity, irregular oestrus cycles, polycystic ovaries, with lower level of HDL-C and lower activity of SOD than controls. The bacterial diversity (Chao1 and Ace) of DHT group was decreased compared with the control group. Furthermore, principal coordinates analysis revealed that DHT and control groups could be distinguished from each other. The DHT group exhibited increased numbers of Firmicutes, Cyanobacteria, Actinobacteria and Saccharibacteria, and decreased Bacteroidetes compared with the control group at the phylum level. Moreover, PICRUST-predicted KEGG pathways related to Carbohydrate metabolism, Amino acid metabolism, Metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides, Metabolism of other amino acids, Replication and repair, Lipid metabolism and Energy metabolism, Translation, Folding, sorting and degradation and Xenobiotics biodegradation and metabolism were significantly elevated in the DHT group. And pathways related to Metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides, Replication and repair, Xenobiotics biodegradation and metabolism, Nucleotide metabolism, Infectious diseases and Excretory system were significantly elevated in the LET group.Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicated that DHT affected the composition and diversity of gut microbial community, and leads to the gut dysbiosis. KEGG function profiles calculated by PICRUST suggested that DHT may affect metabolism of the gut microbiota more directly than letrozle.
