research Correlation of ovarian volume with fasting plasma insulin levels, and insulin resistance using homeostasis model assessment 2 computational model in women with polycystic ovaries
Larger ovaries in women with PCOS may indicate higher insulin resistance.
research Impact of Intermittent Fasting on Insulin Sensitivity and HbA1c Levels among Overweight Adults with Prediabetes
Intermittent fasting improved blood sugar control in overweight adults with prediabetes.
research Insulin resistance, nitric oxide, and fibrinogen levels in white hirsute women: Defining a new paradigm based on translational research
White hirsute women with PCOS have higher insulin resistance, but similar nitric oxide and fibrinogen levels compared to those with idiopathic hirsutism.
research Assessment of Serum Level of Myostatin in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia and its Relation to Insulin Resistance
Higher myostatin and insulin resistance are linked to androgenetic alopecia.
research Plasma Diaphanous Related Formin 1 Levels Are Associated with Altered Glucose Metabolism and Insulin Resistance in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Case Control Study
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have lower levels of a substance called DIAPH1 in their blood, which is linked to changes in sugar metabolism and insulin resistance.

Controlling insulin levels through intermittent fasting and a low glycemic diet may improve hair quality by reducing androgens. It's important to maintain proper nutrition, including electrolytes and protein, during fasting.
community Severe copper deficiency, and also zinc deficiency. Looking for testimonials.
A 36-year-old man with androgenetic alopecia suspects copper and zinc deficiencies may be accelerating hair loss and is supplementing copper to address this. He is also monitoring blood sugar levels due to previous prediabetes concerns and plans to test for insulin resistance.
community Claim: Insulin resistance increases the enzyme that creates DHT and affects the liver's ability to control hormones
Insulin resistance may increase DHT production, contributing to hair loss, and addressing it through diet, nutrients, and natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil could help reverse hair loss. Some users prefer medications like finasteride for more effective results.
community Bloodwork after 8 months on finasteride, is this normal?
A user on finasteride for 8 months shared bloodwork results showing increased testosterone and estradiol levels, with concerns about high LH. Responses advised monitoring for symptoms but noted levels are within reference ranges.
community The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men
Excessive sugar consumption may contribute to male pattern hair loss by increasing androgen sensitivity and insulin resistance, but genetics play a significant role. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are suggested for managing hair loss, while reducing sugar intake and maintaining a healthy lifestyle may help mitigate its progression.
