research Type 2 Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Lipid Metabolism
Type 2 diabetes in youth is increasing, with high treatment failure rates and more severe than Type 1; certain drugs can lower lipid levels effectively with varying side effects, and apples may benefit heart health like statins but with fewer side effects.
research Serum and hair steroid profiles and their associations with body composition in adolescence.
Androgen levels are more linked to body size in boys than girls.
research Serum and hair steroid profiles and their associations with body composition in adolescence
Hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis for assessing hormone levels and metabolism.
research Urinary steroid analysis of women with effluvium
Women with effluvium have higher levels of certain urinary steroids, possibly due to stress and increased adrenal activity.
research Complications of Cushing's syndrome: state of the art
Cushing's syndrome can cause serious health problems, and early treatment is crucial, but some issues may remain after treatment.
research Hormone therapy for transgender patients
