Targeting Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Pathophysiology with Flavonoids: From Adipokine–Cytokine Crosstalk to Insulin Resistance and Reproductive Dysfunctions

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting millions of women that causes irregular periods, infertility, and metabolic problems. Flavonoids are beneficial plant compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and tea that show promise in treating PCOS by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing inflammation, and balancing hormones. While current medications have limited benefits and side effects, flavonoid supplements could offer a safer, natural way to address multiple PCOS problems simultaneously. However, more large-scale clinical studies are needed to confirm their effectiveness and establish optimal dosing.

The Antioxidant Properties of Mushroom Polysaccharides can Potentially Mitigate Oxidative Stress, Beta-Cell Dysfunction and Insulin Resistance

This research review explores how mushroom compounds called polysaccharides may help manage diabetes by reducing harmful stress on cells caused by high glucose levels. Scientists found that 104 different mushroom polysaccharides have anti-diabetic properties and can protect insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. These natural compounds show promise as a complementary treatment to conventional diabetes medications, potentially with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.
