Role of the transcriptional factors FOXO1 and PPARG on gene expression of SLC2A4 in endometrial tissue from women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Fifty to seventy percent of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) present hyperinsulinemia. On the other hand, reports indicate that forkhead box class O 1 (FOXO1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARG) are involved in the insulin signaling pathway, regulating the gene expression of SLC2A4 (GLUT4). The negative effect of FOXO1 over PPARG transcription disappears when FOXO1 is...
