Effect of Wenshen Zhuyang Tiaozhou Method on Sex Hormones, Insulin and Ovulation in PCOS Patients with Kidney-Yang Deficiency Syndrome Based on PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway
To investigate the effect of Wenshen Zhuyang Tiaozhou method on sex hormones
insulin and ovulation in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with kidney-Yang deficiency syndrome based on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway.
Method:
2
Totally 60 PCOS patients with kidney-Yang deficiency syndrome treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2017 to July 2018 were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method
with 30 cases in each group. The control group was orally treated with ethinylestradiol and cycloproterone acetate tablets
in addition to this therapy
the observation group also received Wenshen Zhuyang Tiaozhou method. Both groups were followed up after three months of treatment. Sex hormone levels
fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting insulin (FINS) levels were measured in all patients. Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) was calculated by homeostasis model assessment method
and the expression levels of Akt and p-Akt proteins in endometrium were detected by Western blot.
Result:
2
After treatment
the levels of FSH and LH in both groups decreased
and the level of E
2
sex hormone increased (
P
<
0.05). After treatment
the levels of FSH and LH in observation group were lower than those in control group
whereas the level of E
2
sex hormone was higher than that in control group (
P
<
0.05). After treatment
the levels of FPG and FINS in two groups were significantly lower (
P
<
0.05)
while the levels of FPG and FINS in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.05). After treatment
the ovarian volume and the number of sinusoidal oocytes in two groups decreased significantly
while the endometrial thickness increased (
P
<
0.05). After treatment
the ovarian volume and the number of sinusoidal oocytes in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group
and the endometrial thickness was significantly lower than that in observation group (
P
<
0.05). After treatment
the ovarian volume and the number of sinusoidal oocytes in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group
and the endometrial thickness was larger than that of control group (
P
<
0.05). After treatment
the Akt and p-Akt proteins in the endometrium of observation group and control group were significantly decreased
while the Akt and p-Akt proteins in the endometrium of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion:
2
Wenshen Zhuyang Tiaozhou method can effectively ameliorate the sex hormone level
regulate insulin and promote the recovery of ovarian function in PCOS patients with kidney-Yang deficiency syndrome. This may be related to the blocking of the phosphorylation of Akt and the inhibition of the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
