Insulin stimulation of lactate accumulation in isolated human granulosa-luteal cells: a comparison between normal and polycystic ovaries

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is often associated with hyperinsulinaemia and peripheral insulin resistance. Whether the ovary is resistant to insulin is a matter of controversy. The aim was therefore to study the effect of insulin on lactate accumulation, an indicator of glucose metabolism, in granulosa-luteal cells from women with PCOS and from women with normal ovarian function. The cells were obtained from women undergoing clinical in-vitro fertilization-embryo transfer, either from patients with normal ovarian function and tubal or male infertility, or from women with PCOS, with or without tubal factor. The patients were down-regulated with buserelin and stimulated with urofollitrophin and human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). Follicle aspiration was performed under ultrasound guidance. Following oocyte recovery the granulosa-luteal cells were isolated, washed and cultured (2-3 x 10(4) viable cells/well) in serum-free Eagle's minimal essential medium for 48 h. After washing, the cells were then cultured in medium containing HCG (0.1-10 IU/ml) or insulin (0.05-0.5 microg/ml) for 24-48 h. Lactate accumulation in the media and cellular protein were analysed. Basal lactate accumulation did not differ in granulosa-luteal cells...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
