November 2023 in “Systems Biology in Reproductive Medicine” This study investigates the effects of vitamin E combined with a combined oral contraceptive (COC) on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in female SD rats, focusing on the melatonin protein kinase C (PKC) pathway. The research utilized both in silico and in vivo methods, revealing that vitamin E and drospirenone (DRSP) have high binding affinity for the INHBA gene. In vivo results showed a significant decrease in testosterone levels and an increase in INHBA gene expression, which stimulates FSH production. The combination of vitamin E and COC was found to be beneficial against PCOS by modulating oxidative stress, influencing circadian rhythm, and affecting the melatonin PKC pathway.
