摘要
Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)is a prevalent endocrine disorder that poses a significant threat to women’s health.As a classical traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)formulation,Guizhi-Fuling Wan(GFW)has a good application prospect in the complementary treatment of PCOS.This study aimed to systematically summarize the traditional efficacy and pharmacological composition of the Chinese medicines contained in GFW and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of their active ingredients in the complementary treatment of PCOS.A growing number of studies have demonstrated that GFW is effective at complementally treating PCOS through various mechanisms,including inhibiting inflammatory responses,modulating the intraovarian extracellular matrix,regulating apoptosis and autophagy in granulosa cells,and correcting oxidative stress imbalances.In addition,the GFW has been shown to be effective in treating the complications of PCOS.However,there are several problems,and future work should focus on elucidating the efficacy,safe dosage,and safety of different dosage forms of GFW,increasing the toxicological value of traditional Chinese medicine,and confirming the safety of the combination of GFW with Western medicine for the treatment of PCOS.
