AMPK‐mediated prevention of vascular dysfunction with metformin: Experimental and population‐based evidence

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Angiotensin II induces vascular inflammation, senescence, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and endothelial dysfunction, thus impairing SK+/IK+ channel function and reducing endothelial‐dependent hyperpolarisation (EDH). Metformin activates AMPK, increasing SK+/IK+ channel function and restoring vasorelaxation.

Cardiometabolic Risk in First Degree Relatives of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common multisystem disorder with reproductive, cardiometabolic and psychological implications. Genetic factors play a role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. We sought to investigate the cardiometabolic health of first degree relatives (FDR) of women with PCOS.

Physiological Basis of Sex Differences in Human Performance and Exercise‐Associated Pathology

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of sex differences in human physical performance is well‐established and shaped by distinct endocrine, anatomical and physiological mechanisms. Despite sustained advances, our understanding of how inherent biological factors drive variations in exercise capacity and related pathologies is still developing.

Umbilical vein testosterone in female infants born to mothers with polycystic ovary syndrome is elevated to male levels

, 2010
The aetiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is poorly understood, but an intrauterine hyperandrogenic environment has been implicated. This study was designed to assess whether the female offspring of mothers with PCOS are exposed to raised levels ...

Obesity in Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Mechanisms, Complications and Management

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CCAH) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder primarily caused by 21‐hydroxylase deficiency. Although the survival rate of patients has significantly improved with glucocorticoid replacement therapy, long‐term use of supraphysiological doses and multiple factors inherent to the disease itself have led
