Its heterogeneous pathophysiology arises from the interplay of metabolic, endocrine, and immune factors, including dysregulated adipokine secretion, cytokine-mediated inflammation, oxidative stress (OS), and mitochondrial dysfunction. Current pharmacological therapies, such as metformin, clomiphene, and oral contraceptives, often provide partial benefits and are limited by side effects, necessitating the exploration of safer, multi-target strategies. Flavonoids, a structurally diverse class of plant-derived polyphenols, have gained attention as promising therapeutic candidates in PCOS due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, insulin-sensitizing, and hormone-modulating properties. Preclinical studies in rodent PCOS models consistently demonstrate improvements in insulin sensitivity, normalization of ovarian morphology, restoration of ovulation, and reduction in hyperandrogenism. Human clinical studies, though limited in scale and heterogeneity, report favorable effects of flavonoids such as quercetin, isoflavones, and catechins on glucose metabolism, adipokine balance, inflammatory markers, and reproductive functions. This evidence-based study critically synthesizes mechanistic insights into how flavonoids modulate insulin signaling, adipokine\u2013cytokine crosstalk, OS, and androgen excess, while highlighting translational evidence and emerging delivery systems aimed at overcoming bioavailability barriers. Collectively, flavonoids represent a promising class of nutraceuticals and adjuncts to conventional therapies, offering an integrative strategy for the management of PCOS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ph18101575","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T08:18:54Z","timestamp":1760948334000},"page":"1575","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Targeting Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Pathophysiology with Flavonoids: From Adipokine\u2013Cytokine Crosstalk to Insulin Resistance and Reproductive Dysfunctions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7893-5282","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sulagna","family":"Dutta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Basic Medical Sciences Department, College of Medicine, Ajman University, Ajman 3464, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1928-5048","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pallav","family":"Sengupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Medicine, Gulf Medical University, Ajman 4184, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sowmya","family":"Rao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Dubai 345050, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5435-4205","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ghada Elsayed","family":"Elgarawany","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Medicine, Gulf Medical University, Ajman 4184, United Arab Emirates"},{"name":"Department of Medical Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University, Shebeen Elkom 6131567, Menofia Governorate, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9536-0567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antony Vincent","family":"Samrot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Manipal University College Malaysia, Melaka 75150, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2765-6176","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Israel Maldonado","family":"Rosas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Citmer Reproductive Medicine, Mexico City 11520, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4174-1852","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shubhadeep","family":"Roychoudhury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics, Assam University, Silchar 788011, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1602","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/dey256","article-title":"Recommendations from the international evidence-based guideline for the assessment and management of polycystic ovary syndrome","volume":"33","author":"Teede","year":"2018","journal-title":"Hum.
