“…Thiazolidinediones, such as troglitazone, improve insulin sensitivity and have been used as treatments for type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Not only does troglitazone inhibit estradiol production in granulosa cells (Mu et al 2000), it also inhibits androgen production in ovarian theca cells (Schoppee et al 2002). This is consistent with the finding that PCOS patients treated with troglitazone (200-400 mg) had significantly decreased plasma concentrations of androgens and estrogens after 3 months (Dunaif et al 1996).…”

“…Recent studies suggest a link between MEHP activity as a peroxisome proliferator and its toxic effect on the granulosa cell (Mu et al 2000(Mu et al , 2001Rubin et al 2000). Peroxisome proliferators exert their effects by activating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), members of the nuclear receptor superfamily.…”

“…The sequences of the sense/antisense primers to amplify a 987-bp cDNA fragment of aromatase cytochrome P-450 were 5ЈCGG CCT TGT TCG TAT GGT CA 3Ј/5ЈGTC TCA TCT GGG TGC AAG GA 3Ј. 36 The primers to amplify cDNA fragments of estrogen receptor-␣ and -␤ and progesterone receptor were provided by Ulrich Gottwald and Holger Hess-Stumpp, Schering AG, Berlin, Germany (estrogen receptor ␣: 5ЈGCA GAC AGG GAG CTG GTT CA3Ј/ 5ЈGCC TTT GTT ACT CAT GTG CC3Ј; estrogen receptor ␤: 5ЈGGC AAC TAC TTC AAG GTT TCG AG3Ј/5ЈACT GAG ACT GTG GGT TCT GGG AG3Ј; progesterone receptor: 5ЈTTA CCA TGT GGC AGA TCC CAC AG3Ј/ 5ЈACC ATC CCT GCC AAT ATC TTG GG3Ј). The housekeeping gene for BiP protein was used as a positive control for successful reverse transcription and to exclude genomic contamination by using primers in two different exons (5ЈTAC ACT TGG TAT TGA AAC TG/ 3ЈGGT GGC TTT CCA GCC ATT C).…”

“…Des résultats similaires ont été obtenus sur les cellules de la thèque chez la truie [8,9]. De façon paradoxale, chez des patientes atteintes du syndrome des OPK, les cellules de la granulosa montrent, au contraire, une inhibition de la sécrétion de progestérone et d'oestradiol en pré-sence de troglitazone [7,10]. Cette action inhibitrice de la troglitazone serait due à une baisse de l'activité des enzymes de la stéroïdogenèse (3-β-hydroxystéroïde-déshydrogénase ou 3-βHSD et aromatase) plutôt qu'à une action directe de PPARγ sur les promoteurs des gènes correspondants.…”
