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;
), MET
CPA
, and placebo CPA 
for 
months. 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<
), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC; P<
), as well as increased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG; P<) 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<), while increasing HDLC and SHBG (P<) as compared to placebo.

Answer:
In evolutionary theory, adaptation is the biological mechanism by which organisms adjust to new environments or to changes in their current environment. The idea of natural selection is that traits that can be passed down allow organisms to adapt to the environment better than other organisms of the same species
Cerebral cortex
1. Emotion can invoke an autonomic response.
2. Sexual thoughts or image which can increase blood flow to the genitals.
Hypothalamus.
1. It activates the flight or fight response.
2. It is the major control of ANS.
3. It is the integrating center for thermoregulation.
Brainstem.
1. It is integrating centers for reflexes which control heart rate and blood pressure.
2. It is the integrating center for pupillary reflex
Spinal cord
1. It is the integrating center for urination, erection, defecation and ejaculation reflexes.
Answer:
Oxytocin is the correct answer.
Explanation:
- Oxytocin is a hormone that is released by the pituitary gland and it helps to stimulate the contraction during the labor and it reduces and controls the uterine bleeding.
- Oxytocin is also called a love hormone as it is responsible for human responses associated with bonding and relation.
- Breastfeeding excites the release of the oxytocin from the brain and it provides the baby to get the breast milk from breasts.
