Melatonin enhances SIRT1 to ameliorate mitochondrial membrane damage by activating PDK1/Akt in granulosa cells of PCOS

Abstract Mitochondrial injury in granulosa cells (GCs) is associated with the pathophysiological mechanism of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Melatonin reduces the mitochondrial injury by enhancing SIRT1 (NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-1), while the mechanism remains unclear. Mitochondrial memb...
