10 Does Prenata Androgenization Infuence the Deveopment of PCOS?

11 Effects of Prenata Androgenization in Femae Rhesus Monkeys Increased circuating androgens Dumesic et a, Ferti Steri, 2002 Abnorma gonadotropin eves Dumesic et a, Ferti Steri, 1997 Increased abdomina fat Eisner et a, Obes Res, 2003 Impaired insuin action Eisner, JCEM, 2000 Impaired oocyte deveopment Dumesic et a, JCEM, 2002

17 Summary-Prenata Androgenisation Unikey with endogenous androgens u They do not reach appreciabe eves u The pacenta is the most effective aromatizing (conversion of androgens to estrogens) organ Endocrine disruptor u Is there an environmenta androgen agonist?

25 Epiepsy/Bipoar and VPA Vaproic Acid (VPA) is used to treat convusions/mood disorders and appears to exacerbate PCOS stigmata suggesting an environmenta modifier u Vaproic Acid (VPA) u Mechanisms of Action (?): enhanced neurotransmission of GABA Bocks votage gated sodium and cacium channes Inhibits histone deacetyase

30 Summary Abnormaities in Feta Growth may ead to reproductive and metaboic abnormaities found in PCOS u Both sma and arge infant size may be a consequence and risk for these abnormaities

31 Summary: State of Evidence Environmenta disruptors that are ovariotoxic are unikey to cause PCOS- a condition of ovarian hyperfunction SERMs are both treatments and potentiay inducers of poycystic ovary syndrome BPA remains a strong candidate for inducing PCOS ike symptoms when given eary in deveopment u But primariy in anima modes
