research Obesity and the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Obesity worsens Polycystic Ovary Syndrome symptoms, and weight loss is a key treatment.
research A randomized placebo-controlled study on the effects of pioglitazone on cortisol metabolism in polycystic ovary syndrome
Pioglitazone improved insulin sensitivity and altered cortisol metabolism in PCOS patients.
research Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Is Required for the Physiological Response to Stress: Role of Neurosteroid-Sensitive GABAAReceptors
Neurosteroids are crucial for stress response, and targeting specific receptors may help treat certain disorders.
research Adipose transcriptome in the scalp of androgenetic alopecia
The scalp fat tissue of men with hair loss shows changes in gene activity that may contribute to their condition.

Low vitamin D in overweight teens is linked to higher leptin and lower adiponectin, affecting metabolism.
research 5175 A Rare Case of Type B Insulin Resistance Syndrome
Type B Insulin Resistance Syndrome is rare, linked to lupus, and hard to treat due to severe insulin resistance.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Adipokines in the Skin and in Dermatological Diseases
Adipokines affect skin health and could be targeted for treating skin diseases.
research Adipose tissue protects against skin photodamage through CD151- and AdipoQ- EVs
Fat tissue vesicles protect skin from UV damage better than stem cell vesicles.
research Immunological and Metabolic Causes of Infertility in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS causes infertility mainly due to hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation.
research Metabolic syndrome — a new definition and management guidelines
New guidelines stress early diagnosis and lifestyle changes to manage metabolic syndrome and prevent complications.
research The role of vasoactive peptides in skin homeostasis—focus on adiponectin and the kallikrein-kinin system
Adiponectin and bradykinin play important roles in skin health and may help treat skin conditions.
