Effects of the Modified Bazhen Decoction in the Treatment of Premature Ovarian Failure in Rats.

Abstract

XIAP is involved in the regulation of oocyte and granulosa cells via the cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase (caspase) pathway, and plays an important role in POF. MBD can dramatically activate XIAP, but inhibit the expression of miR-23a and miR-27a; preventing the apoptosis of oocyte and granulosa cells. Our study suggests that MBD may be a useful traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of POF.
