Specific insulin binding sites in human ovary.

L Poretsky, D Smith, M Seibel

    The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism
    |October 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Insulin resistance and high androgen levels in women may be linked to direct ovarian insulin effects. Researchers found insulin receptors in ovarian tissue, supporting this connection and suggesting new research avenues.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Reproductive Biology
    • Metabolic Disorders

    Background:

    • Insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism are linked in polycystic ovarian disease (PCOS).
    • This suggests insulin may directly impact ovarian function.

    Observation:

    • Insulin receptors were directly measured in ovarian stroma from PCOS patients.
    • Specific insulin binding was detected in ovarian tissue samples.

    Findings:

    • 125I-insulin binding was detectable in ovarian stroma fragments.
    • Specific binding was inhibited by anti-insulin receptor antibodies, confirming receptor presence.

    Implications:

    • These findings support the hypothesis that insulin directly influences ovarian function.

  • Further research into ovarian insulin receptors and action could clarify links between insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism.
