Objective:
To establish a rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) complicated with atherosclerosis(AS).
Methods:
Sixteen female SD rats were selected and randomly divided into control group and model group, with 8 rats in each group.The rats in the control group were given routine rearing.The rats in the model group were subcutaneously given dihydrotestosterone(DHT) in neck and fed with high fat diet for a long term.The changes of food intake (FI), body weight(BW), testosterone (T), estrogen (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), total cholesterol (TC), blood glucose (BG) and insulin (INS) were observed in the two groups.
Results:
The levels of FI, T, E2, LH between the control group and model group had no obvious change[(86.13±7.83)g/r vs.(96.25±10.66)g/r,
