Ellen A. Nohr et al.

Summary: The study findings suggest that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with long-term impaired sexual health, especially in terms of reduced sexual desire and dyspareunia.

Deletion of neural estrogen receptor alpha induces sex differential effects on reproductive behavior in mice

Anne-Charlotte Trouillet et al.

Summary: The neural deletion of estrogen receptor, ER α, primarily affects sexual behavior in female mice, while only having a moderate effect in male mice. This contrasts with previous studies that found ER α to be essential for reproductive behavior in both sexes.

Female sexual behavior is disrupted in a preclinical mouse model of PCOS via an attenuated hypothalamic nitric oxide pathway

Summary: Women with PCOS experience decreased sexual arousal, desire, and satisfaction, which is associated with a loss of nNOS-expressing neurons in the hypothalamus.

Prenatal androgen treatment impairs the suprachiasmatic nucleus arginine-vasopressin to kisspeptin neuron circuit in female mice

Bradley B. B. Jamieson et al.

Summary: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by elevated androgen and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion and ovulation dysfunction. A study found that elevated androgens in PCOS impair the feedback regulation of LH secretion, as well as the preovulatory LH surge. Using a mouse model of PCOS, the study showed that elevated androgens change neural circuits involved in regulating the preovulatory surge, which may contribute to ovulation dysfunction.

Hypothalamic cellular and molecular plasticity linked to sexual experience in male rats and mice

Arnaud Jean et al.

Summary: Male sexual behavior is influenced by learning, with experienced males showing greater efficiency than naive ones. This improvement is due to cellular and molecular changes in the neural circuit controlling sexual behavior, specifically in the hypothalamic medial preoptic area. This review highlights the mechanisms of sexual experience in male rodents and emphasizes the differences between rats and mice.

Prenatal androgen exposure causes a sexually dimorphic transgenerational increase in offspring susceptibility to anxiety disorders

Sanjiv Risal et al.

Summary: This study found that daughters of women with PCOS have an increased risk of anxiety disorders, possibly transmitted transgenerationally through the female germline. Using a PCOS mouse model, researchers observed anxiety-like behavior in female offspring in the androgenized lineage and male offspring in both the androgenized and obese lineages. Additionally, dysregulated genes related to anxiety-like behavior were identified in the amygdala of female offspring in the androgenized lineage and male offspring in the obese lineage.

RF-amide related peptide-3 (RFRP-3): a novel neuroendocrine regulator of energy homeostasis, metabolism, and reproduction

Shabana Anjum et al.

Summary: RFRP-3 acts as an inhibitory signal on the reproductive axis via G-protein coupled receptor 147 in mammals, while also playing a role in stimulating appetite; it contributes to the integration of energy balance and reproduction by being up-regulated in metabolically deficient conditions.

Aisha Sati et al.

Summary: The study found time-specific changes in the microglia population and a reduction in refinement of GABAergic inputs in a mouse model of PCOS driven by prenatal androgen excess, suggesting a role for microglia in shaping the atypical brain wiring associated with the development of PCOS features.
