Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by androgen excess, ovarian dysfunction, and polycystic ovary morphology. Treatments targeting PCOS consist of pharmacological therapies that result in unfavorable side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to search for new treatments with natural products, including maca extract (Lepidium meyenii). Several studies have highlighted its benefit on inflammation, fertility, osteoporosis, menopausal symptoms and hormone balance. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of atomized hydroalcoholic extract of red maca (RM) on changes in ovarian histology, body weight and ovary weight in female rats induced to PCOS caused by estradiol valerate (VE) and estradiol enanthate. Testosterone (ET). 30 3-month-old female rats with regular estrous cycles divided into five groups were included. Control: Healthy rats, PCOS Group: PCOS induced rats without treatment, Positive Group: PCOS induced rats + birth control pills, PCOS + MR40 Group: PCOS induced rats with MR treatment at minimum dose and PCOS + MR80 Group: Induced rats to PCOS with higher dose MR treatment. For PCOS induction, a single dose of VE/ET was administered i.m. Daily vaginal smears were performed until a prolonged diestrus phase was evident, after which the respective treatment began. Histological ovarian samples were analyzed, as well as the reproductive organs and body weight of each group. The ovaries of rats induced to PCOS presented a polycystic morphology. Treatment with daily MR at a higher dose significantly decreased the number of ovarian cysts and increased the number of newly formed corpora lutea compared to the PCOS group. In conclusion, the administration of MR managed to restore ovarian tissue, having an effect on ovarian function.
