Research progress of Chinese medicine regulating AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)is a common endocrine and metabolic disease in gynecology.The main clinical manifestations are infertility,hirsuty,obesity,menstrual disorders,etc.,which seriously affect women's health.Studies have shown that the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of PCOS involves a variety of signaling pathways,among which advanced glycation end products-receptor for advanced glycation end products(AGE-RAGE)signaling pathway is an important pathway regulating inflammation and oxidative stress.More and more Chinese herbal compounds,single herbs and their extracts can reduce inflammation,oxidative stress,insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia in patients by regulating AGE-RAGE signaling pathway,which provides a new strategy and direction for the treatment of PCOS.However,there is currently no comprehensive summary of Chinese medicine intervention in the treatment of PCOS by AGE-RAGE signaling pathway.Therefore,this paper reviews the current research status of Chinese medicine regulation of AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in the treatment of PCOS in recent years,so as to provide new directions and thoughts for further research on PCOS.
