TL;DR

Findings position fennel—particularly as an adjunct to metformin—as a dual modulator of both hormonal (AMH) and structural (vascular and fibrotic) ovarian alterations in a rat model of PCOS, although clinical trials remain essential before application in women with PCOS.

Gynura procumbens Leaf Extract Nanoparticles and Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) in a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Rat Model: A Systematic Literature Review of Evidence Gaps and Research Opportunities

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine-metabolic disorder. It involves hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, insulin resistance, low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress, and altered ovarian morphology. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a key biomarker. It is primarily produced by granulosa cells of p...
