Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multisystem disorder that presents with variety of phenotypes involving metabolic, endocrine, reproductive, and psychological symptoms signs. Women PCOS are at increased risk pregnancy complications including implantation failure, miscarriage, gestational diabetes, fetal growth restriction, preterm labor, pre-eclampsia (PE). This may be attributed to the presence specific susceptibility features associated before during pregnancy, such as chronic systemic inflammation, insulin resistance (IR), hyperandrogenism, all which have been an complications. Many reversible following lifestyle interventions diet exercise, pregnant women healthy found lower complications, PE. narrative synthesis summarizes evidence investigating PE role nutritional factors in PCOS. The findings suggest beneficial aspects management PCOS, recommended evidence-based international guidelines, extend improved outcomes. Identifying high-risk will allow targeted interventions, early-pregnancy screening, surveillance for should included assessment algorithms

The feeding rate is critical for fish growth and the feed conversion ratio (FCR). Prior research has primarily evaluated optimal by examining performance FCR. Given high cost of koi as an ornamental fish, it essential to consider effects rates on its welfare health. This study aimed examine impact growth, stress response, antioxidant capacity, immune defense koi. A total 240 with initial body weight 10.02 ± 0.18 g, were randomly assigned six groups fed expanded diets at 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6% per day (BW/day) a duration eight weeks. results indicated that daily gain 3–4% BW/day was significantly greater than other groups. Fish in both low exhibited reduced capacity heightened inflammatory notable decrease catalase (CAT) superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, along diminished expression cat sod, well significant increase tnf-α, il1, il10. elevated did not enhance mechanisms. Furthermore, resulted immunity koi, reduction plasma cortisol (COR), complement C3, C4, protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLO) levels, decreased activities lysozyme (LZM) myeloperoxidase (MPO). enhancing non-specific intake extruded feed. Our findings reveal underfeeding led antioxidants defenses while overfeeding also proved detrimental. An necessary health this species.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy of reproductive-aged women, characterized by hyperandrogenism, oligo-anovulation and insulin resistance closely linked with preferential abdominal fat accumulation. As an ancestral primate trait, PCOS was likely further selected in humans when scarcity food hunter–gatherers the late Pleistocene additionally programmed for enhanced storage to meet metabolic demands reproduction later life. evolutionary model PCOS, healthy normal-weight women hyperandrogenic have subcutaneous (SC) adipose stem cells that favor through exaggerated lipid accumulation during development adipocytes vitro.
