| Disease watch: Zika virus — placental passage and permissivity for infection Melissa A. Suter & Kjersti M. Aagaard Published online: 24 June 2016 p437 | doi:10.1038/nrendo.2016.101 Animal models of human congenital infection are needed to understand when, how and why Zika virus (ZIKV) is transmitted to the fetus. The recent development of mouse models of ZIKV placental transmission, which results in high rates of pregnancy loss, alongside fetal brain and ocular malformations, have started to unravel the mysteries of placental infection and transmission.

| Reproductive endocrinology: Contraceptives, exercise and diet — are all three needed in PCOS? Bulent O. Yildiz Published online: 12 July 2016 p438 | doi:10.1038/nrendo.2016.106 Oral contraceptives are the mainstay of long-term PCOS treatment, but have potential adverse cardiometabolic effects. In a randomized controlled trial comparing oral contraceptive use and structured exercise in women with PCOS and overweight on a calorie-restricted diet, androgen excess was ameliorated with oral contraceptive use and structured exercise improved markers of cardiometabolic risk.

| Progress in the care of common inherited atherogenic disorders of apolipoprotein B metabolism Katrina L. Ellis, Amanda J. Hooper, John R. Burnett & Gerald F. Watts Published online: 20 May 2016 p467 | doi:10.1038/nrendo.2016.69 In this Review, screening and treatment recommendations are compared for familial hypercholesterolaemia, familial combined hyperlipidaemia and elevated lipoprotein(a); common, inherited disorders of lipoprotein metabolism that are associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. New treatments are considered alongside established therapeutic strategies. Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Supplementary information | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| NADPH oxidases: new actors in thyroid cancer? Rabii Ameziane-El-Hassani, Martin Schlumberger & Corinne Dupuy Published online: 13 May 2016 p485 | doi:10.1038/nrendo.2016.64 The NADPH oxidase family of enzymes produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a critical substrate for thyroid hormone synthesis. However, H2O2 is also a potent oxidant that can cause DNA damage, which might lead to thyroid carcinogenesis. Here, the authors discuss the physiological attributes of thyroid NADPH oxidases and their pathological involvement in thyroid cancer.
