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.
