Advances in research on drug-induced ovarian developmental toxicity and mechanism / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Improper use of drugs during pregnancy ( such as en¬docrine and nervous system dnjgs) can cause fetal ovarian de¬velopmental toxicity, which induces premature ovarian failure and other related diseases susceptible in adulthood.'Hie mecha¬nism of ovarian developmental toxicity mainly involves abnormal epigenetic modification during fetal period, oxidative stress inju¬ry, intrauterine neuroendocrine development programming, etc.In this paper, the ovarian developmental toxicity and intrauterine programming mechanism of offspring induced by pregnancy med¬ication are systematically reviewed to provide evidence for the prevention and control of ovary-related diseases.
