Follicular fluid-derived exosomal miR-143-3p/miR-155-5p regulate follicular dysplasia by modulating glycolysis in granulosa cells in polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract Objective Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by follicular dysplasia.An insufficient glycolysis-derived energy supply of granulosa cells (GCs) is an important cause of follicular dysplasia in PCOS.Follicular fluid (FF) exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) have been proven to regulate the function of GCs.In this study, exosomes extrac
