Androgens impair β-cell function in a mouse model of polycystic ovary syndrome by activating endoplasmic reticulum stress

Background: Androgens excess results in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which is an important cause of β cells dysfunction. Here, we investigated the molecular regulation of androgens excess, ER stress, and β-cell function in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: PCOS mouse model was estab...
