Abstract:
Ovary is a vital female gonadal organ.It not only provides gametes for reproduction,but also secretes hormones to support and maintain the function of multiple systems.The decline of ovarian function is characterized by low fertility,early menopause,etc.It may even lead to dysfunction of multiple organs,which seriously damage women's health.Trace elements(TEs)play an important role in maintaining the normal ovarian function.When the TEs are unbalanced and cannot keep the ho-meostasis of ovary,inducing hormone secretion disorder,ovulatory disorder,decreased enzyme activity and histological changes of ovary.These changes lead to diminished ovarian function.Therefore,in-depth study on the role and mechanism of TEs in the regulation of ovarian function is conducive to understand the physiological function and prevent ovarian dysfunction.In this re-view,in combination with the research on the application of TEs at home and abroad in recent years,the relationship between TEs(iron,zinc,copper,selenium,iodine,cobalt,chromium,molybdenum)and ovarian function,as well as the mechanism of TEs affecting ovarian function are summarized,which will provide some theoretical guidance for the study of TEs in ovarian function in the future.
