cAMP directly activates protein kinase A (PKA) and cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 (Epac2), that act synergistically to generate downstream signals resulting in increased insulin secretion (8)

One speculation is that although adipocytes have reduced GPX4, adipocytes may be similar to some tumor cells, which still have a high level of GSH in their cells, so that although adipocytes are in an overall oxidative stress condition, the remaining GPX4 from GSH is still needed to neutralize large amounts of ROS and remove some of the lipid peroxides, resulting in differentiated adipocytes that are not or less affected by ferroptosis (81)
In the latter study, a significantly lower dose of human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) was required in these women, which is expected given that women with PCOS typically have high serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and are more prone to developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)
