June 2026 in “Biomolecules and Biomedicine” This study examined serum phoenixin isoforms, PNX-14 and PNX-20, in 90 women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 60 healthy controls, finding that both isoforms were significantly elevated in women with PCOS. They correlated positively with anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), insulin, and luteinizing hormone (LH), and negatively with sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and HDL cholesterol.
