BACKGROUND: Obesity is serious complex disease determined by multiple genetic factors. Body mass index (BMI) is a common phenotype for obesity. Although some candidate genes have been shown to be related with BMI variation, the underlying substantial relationship remains poorly understood.OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether estrogen receptor-α (ER-α) Pvull genetic polymorphism is associated with BMI variation.METHODS: In total 390 premenopausal women from a local population of Nanchang City in Jiangxi Province People's Hospital.Body weight and height were measured. All participants were genotyped at the ER-α Pvull locus using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The ER-α Pvull genotype frequencies of PP, Pp and pp were 0.133, 0.485 and 0.382,respectively. The distribution of ER-Pvull genotypes was in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (P > 0.05).There was no significant correlation between ER-α Pvull genetic polymorphism and BMI variation (P = 0.338). These findings indicate that ER-α Pvull genetic polymorphism does not greatly affect BMI variation of premenopausal women in Nanchang region.

Objective The insulin pathways within ovary are in close relationship with female reproductive ability .The arti-cle was to observe the effects of ovarian insulin resistance on ovarian function and the effects of cryptotanshinone (CRY) on ovarian in-sulin resistance. Methods All mice were randomly divided into saline group (isotonic saline), DEX a group (isotonic saline plus DEX), CRY a group(isotonic saline plus DEX plus cryptotanshinone ), 10 in each group.The degree of insulin resistance was tested on each rat, along with the measurement of disintergrations per minute (DPM), ovulation rate and serum hormone level .After 20 fe-male mice were put to death , their ovaries were randomly divided into 4 groups:blank control group ( blank culture solution ) , DEX b group (DEX), CRY b group(DEX plus cryptotanshinone ), and WT group (DEX plus cryptotanshinone plus wortmannin ), 8 in each group. Murine ovaries in each group were cultured in vitro to test the number of ovarian glucose and the serum hormone level . Results After in-
sulin resistance took place in murine ovaries , significant statistical difference was found between DEX a group and saline group as to 2-deoxy-D-[1,2-3H]-glucose, liver, adipose and ovarian tissues (P<0.05).Ovaries in CRY a group increased significantly compared with DEX a group([2805.2 ±921.5]DMP/mg vs [1183.2 ±382.2]DMP/mg, P<0.01 ).Compared with DEX a group(37.5 ± 7.0, 5.0 ±1.8), the ovulation rate and the average corpus luteum in saline group (26.3 ±5.9, 3.5 ±1.6) and CRY group (27.2 ± 6.3,3.8 ±0.9) decreased (P<0.05).In comparison to DEX a group, the estrogen and progestogen levels in saline group and CRY a group decreased significantly(P<0.05).The expression level of AKT2 protein in DEX a group was much lower than that in saline group([0.39 ±0.01] vs [0.77 ±0.03], P<0.05).The glucose uptake in ovarian tissues cultured in vitro in blank control group , DEX b group, CRY b group and WT group was respectively (3447.2 ±1245.2)DMP/mg, (1183.2 ±382.2) DMP/mg, (2805.2 ± 921.5) DMP/mg, and (1364.2 ±292.3) DMP/mg.DEX b group decreased significantly compared with blank control group , DEX b group and WT group decreased significantly in comparison to CRY b group (P<0.05).In comparison to blank control group, the me-dium testosterone level increased and the protesteron level decreased significantly in DEX b group (P<0.05). Conclusion Tradi-tional Chinese medicine cryptotanshinone can relieve ovarian insulin resistance in vitro and in vivo , and it may exert insulin sensitivza-tion through PI3K pathway.
