Abstract
- Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive and metabolic condition in women of childbearing age and a major cause of anovulatory infertility. The pathophysiology of PCOS is complex. Recent studies have reported that apart from hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, systemic chronic inflammation, and ovarian dysfunction, gut microbiota dysbiosis is also involved in PCOS development and may aggravate inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, forming a vicious cycle. As naturally occurring plant secondary metabolites, polyphenols have been demonstrated to have anticancer, antibacterial, vasodilator, and analgesic properties, mechanistically creating putative bioactive, low-molecular-weight metabolites in the human gut. Here, we summarize the role of gut microbiota dysbiosis in the development of PCOS and demonstrate the ability of different polyphenols - including anthocyanin, catechins, and resveratrol - to regulate gut microbes and alleviate chronic inflammation, thus providing new insights that may assist in the development of novel therapeutic strategies to treat women with PCOS.
