A group of Chinese women with PCOS who were receiving treatment saw several metabolic and hormonal imbalances improve after taking BBR. The primary consequences may be connected to the modifications in body composition in obesity and dyslipidemia. For the evaluation of the possible beneficial metabolic effects of BBR in women with PCOS, additional controlled trials are required.

PCOS:

  • Objective: Insulin resistance is a common metabolic and reproductive condition called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) (IR). A quinoline derivative alkaloid known as berberine (BBR) has been utilized as an insulin sensitizer and is isolated from Chinese medicinal herbs. There may be a therapeutic benefit for PCOS from BBR. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of BBR and metformin (MET) on the metabolic characteristics of PCOS-affected women.
  • Design and methods: Ninety nine PCOS and IR patients were randomly assigned to one of three therapy groups: BBR+ compound cyproterone acetate (CPA;n=31), MET+CPA(n=30), and placebo+ CPA (n=28) for 3months. Before and after the treatment period, metabolic and hormonal measures as well as the clinical characteristics of the women were evaluated.
  • Results: Reduced waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR;P<0.01), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC; P<0.05), as well as increased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG; P<0.05) were all observed following treatment with BBR as compared to MET. Similarly, BBR treatment decreased WHR, fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin, homeostasis model evaluation for IR, area under the insulin curve, TC, LDLC, and TG (P<0.05), while increasing HDLC and SHBG (P<0.01) as compared to placebo.

I. Plant cells are formed from fertile soil.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

Schleiden was a German botanist and Schwann was a German zoologist who independently observed that plants and animals are made of cells.

Once when they together met in a conference, they shared what they observed and later both reached the conclusion that cell is the functional and structural unit of living organisms.

In the given question, since Schwann was a zoologist, therefore, he concluded that the cell in an organism must function properly whereas Schleiden was a botanist and concluded that the different structures of a plant are composed of cells.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Answer:No

which Statement correctly describes why cells are so small? a) when cells are small the movement of food and waste can be effici
igomit [66]

Answer:

a) when cells are small the movement of food and waste can be efficiently handled by the cell membrane

Explanation:

Cells need to get their nutrients and waste in and out of their cell membrane every quickly. Cells are hard workers anyway! The other options also don't make much sense. The cell shape doesn't mean much to their function, and size doesn't impact shape. The cell's internal parts (mitochondria, vacuole, etc) don't support the cell membrane, they have their own functions to focus on. Cells don't work together in tissue but they can interact with each other when needed.
