Decidualized endometrial stromal cells present with altered androgen response in PCOS

Abstract Hyperandrogenic women with PCOS show disrupted decidualization (DE) and placentation. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is reported to enhance DE in non-PCOS endometrial stromal cells (eSCCtrl); however, this has not been assessed in PCOS cells (eSCPCOS). Therefore, we studied the transcriptome pro...
