Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
is defined as endocrinologic diseases among reproductive-age women caused by undeveloped follicles
clumping on the ovaries that interferes with the function of the normal
ovaries associated
with a high risk for metabolic disorder(1) as resulting of enlarged
ovaries(2), leading to hormone imbalance(excessive androgen and anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) )(1)(3)(4)(5), induced Hirsutism(6)(7), reproductive disorder(10(12)), risks of type 2 diabetes(9)(10)(11), metabolic syndrome(10)(12) and early cardiovasular disease(8)(13), acne(10)(14), endometrial cance(18)(19),weight
gain and obesity(15)(16)(17). The syndrome effects over 5% of women population or 1
in 20 women.
Unfortunately, according to studies, women with PCOs after the reproductive age, are associated to continuously increase risk of type II diabetes, with no increasing altered glucose tolerance(20), CVD and hypertension(21).
The prevention and management
Polycystic
ovary syndrome (PCOS) is unpreventable in Western medicine. Early
diagnosis and treatment may reduce risk of its complications, including
infertility, metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular
diseases, stroke, etc.
Although PCOS cannot be completely avoided, strengthening immunity has
shown a significant reduction of chronic inflammatory
diseases(266)(267)(268).
The Antioxidants
1. Bilirubin
Bilirubin is a prosthetic group helped to break down molecules into smaller units in releasing
energy, excreted in bile and urine. It is a cellular antioxidant(511), by
reverting to biliverdin, a green tetrapyrrolic bile pigment, once again
when oxidized, it inhibits the effects of mutagens(512).
The antioxidant showed to inhibit digestive proteases like trypsin and
chymotrypsin(504), benefit heart health(505) and nonalcoholic fatty
liver disease(507), reduce risk of diabetes(506). Recent studies also
found that the antioxidant exhibits its anti inflammatory effects(511)
against certain chronic inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis(508),
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(509), .... and enhances immunity
activities(510)
2. Carotenoids
Carotenoids
are organic pigments, occurring in the chloroplasts and
chromoplasts(513) of plants and some photosynthetic organisms like
algae and bacteria(514).
a. Beta-carotene
Beta-carotene,
an organic compound classified as a terpenoid, is a strongly-coloured
red-orange pigment in plants and fruits, stored in liver for the
production of vitamin A. Epidemiological evidences sugested that
beta-carotene neutralizes
singlet oxygen before giving rise of free radicals(515) which can damage
of DNA, leading to improper cell DNA replication(516)(517), causing
irregual cells growth, such as cancers(518)(519)(520). The phytochemical
also promotes immunity(521)(522) against foreign invasion and symptoms
of chronic inflammatory disease(523)(524) and improve low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol resistance to oxidation causes of cardiovascular
disease related to atherosclerosis(527) through its antioxidant anti
inflammatory activities(525)(526).....
b. Alpha-carotene
Alpha-carotene,
one of the most abundant carotenoids in the North American diet, is a
form of carotene with a β-ring at one end and an ε-ring at the other, not only protects
cells from the damaging effects of free radicals(526) and enhances the immune
system(528) in fighting against bacteria and virus infection and inflammation(529)(530), but also inhibits irregular
cell growth(531)(532) cause of benign tumors(531) and cancers(532).
c. Beta-cryptoxanthin
Chemically
Beta-cryptoxanthin is a xanthophyll which protects our cells from
oxidation(538) and provides a source of vitamin A. The phytochemical
showed to enhances the immune system functioning(533)(534) against
infectious(537) and inflammatory diseases(535)(536) and reduces insulin
resistance(536) and cancers(539)(540) risks
d. Lycopene
Lycopene
is a red carotene of the carotenoids group found in
tomatoes, watermelons, and grapefruits. This antioxidant is
believed to be a powerful fighter against irregular growth(543), such
as prostate cancer(541)(542), breast cancer(544)(545) and
liver diseases(546)(547). Lycopene has many anti-aging(549)
capabilities as well as enhancing immune function(548)
against oxidative stress(550)(551) and inflammatory diseases(551)(552).
