Role of stress and sympathetic innervation in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome
This article presents a review of the role of the sympathetic activity in ovarian pathologies
affecting reproductive function. We provide a succinct outline of the findings of our group in
this area. The participation of stress as an etiological factor for ovarian pathologies
throughout animal models and data in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome give strong
support for participation of sympathetic nerves in the ovary function both in normal and
pathological status.
