Increased Skeletal Muscle Fiber Cross-Sectional Area, Muscle Phenotype Shift, and Altered Insulin Signaling in Rat Hindlimb Muscles in a Prenatally Androgenized Rat Model for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are reported to have greater lean mass and insulin resistance. To examine muscular changes in a prenatally androgenized (PNA) rat model for PCOS, Sprague–Dawley rats were exposed to 5 mg testosterone or vehicle daily on gestational days 16–19. At 15 weeks...
