Clinical signs of excess male hormones and actual hormone levels in the blood do not always match in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Variations in anterior segment parameters among different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome
PCOS may increase eye pressure and corneal thickness, affecting eye health.
research Finasteride is the main inhibitor of 5α-reductase activity in microdissected dermal papillae of human hair follicles

research S1 OPIOID RECEPTOR AGONISTS AND SERUM PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGENE LEVEL: IS THERE A ROLE FOR PROSTATE CANCER CONTROL AND CHEMOPREVENTION?
Opioid use may lower PSA levels, suggesting a possible role in prostate cancer control; PSA testing is useful for detecting prostate cancer; serum triglycerides are not linked to prostate cancer risk; and higher urethral PSA levels may be associated with local hormone activity.
research S5 IS THE RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY THE BEST CHOICE FOR PATIENTS WITH LOCALLY ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER?
The document does not confirm if radical prostatectomy is the best treatment for locally advanced prostate cancer.
research S2 PSA: RELIABLE OR NOT RELIABLE?
PSA testing is a reliable method for detecting prostate cancer, and opioids may lower PSA levels, but triglycerides don't affect prostate cancer risk.
research S4 URETHRAL PSA LEVELS AFTER RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY
Higher urethral PSA levels after prostate removal surgery may be linked to more hair loss and higher PSA levels post-surgery.
research S3 SERUM TRIGLYCERIDE CONCENTRATION AND RISK OF PROSTATE CANCER: A PROSPECTIVE MULTICENTER STUDY
Serum triglyceride levels are not linked to prostate cancer risk.
research An Old Problem with a New Cause-5 Alpha Reductase Inhibitors and Persistent Sexual Dysfunction
Hair loss drugs like finasteride may cause lasting sexual and mood side effects, and more research is needed to understand these risks.
research The impact of exogenous vitamin D on thyroid autoimmunity in euthyroid men with autoimmune thyroiditis and early-onset androgenic alopecia
Vitamin D may help reduce antibody levels in men with autoimmune thyroiditis and early-onset androgenic alopecia, but has no significant impact on thyroid function.
research Management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: Looking Beyond the Ovaries
PCOS treatment focuses on lifestyle changes and specific medications to manage symptoms and complications.
research Revised 2003 consensus on diagnostic criteria and long-term health risks related to polycystic ovary syndrome
The 2003 consensus updated PCOS diagnosis criteria and highlighted increased risks of diabetes and heart disease for those affected.
research Screening for 21-hydroxylase–deficient nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia among hyperandrogenic women: a prospective study
Testing basal 17-HP levels is a good way to screen for nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women with high androgen levels.
research Acne severity and the Global Acne Grading System in polycystic ovary syndrome
Acne severity in women with PCOS is linked to younger age, lower body weight, and more body hair, but not to hormone levels.
research Facial hypertrichosis after isotretinoin therapy: Is it a side effect or coincidence?
Isotretinoin may cause temporary, reversible facial hair growth in some women.
research Use of Metformin versus Chromium Picolinate in the Management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Chromium picolinate was better tolerated than metformin for PCOS with fewer side effects.
research QSAR Analysis of a Series of Hydantoin‐based Androgen Receptor Modulators and Corresponding Binding Affinities
Researchers developed reliable models to predict how well certain compounds bind to androgen receptors, emphasizing the importance of atomic electronegativity.
research Androgen Levels Do Not Predict PCOS Phenotypes in Adolescents and Young Adults
Androgen levels do not determine the type of PCOS symptoms in young females.
research Screening for Abnormal Glucose Metabolism in Adolescents with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Teens with PCOS have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and need regular glucose checks.
research Variations in alanine aminotransferase levels within the normal range predict metabolic and androgenic phenotypes in women of reproductive age
Normal-range ALT levels can indicate metabolic and hormonal imbalances in young women.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
