research Comparison of spironolactone and spironolactone plus metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome
Both treatments reduced excessive hair growth in PCOS, but there was no difference in weight, hair score, hormone levels, or insulin resistance.
research Tackling polycystic ovary syndrome
The document concludes that management strategies for PCOS are important due to its common occurrence and associated health risks.
research Comparative evaluation of sonographic ovarian morphology of Indian women with polycystic ovary syndrome versus those of normal women
Indian women with PCOS may need different ultrasound criteria for diagnosis than current standards.
research Genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome
The document concludes that PCOS has a strong genetic component, but more research is needed to fully understand the specific genes involved.
research Clinical and endocrine characteristics of the main polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes
Different types of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have varying severity, with Type I being the most severe and common.
research Women’s Health Considerations for Lipid Management
Manage women's cholesterol with diet, exercise, and careful treatment choices, especially during pregnancy, PCOS, and menopause.
research Genome-wide shifts in gene expression induced in theca-interstitial cells by inflammatory stimuli
African American women have a higher risk of preterm delivery than Caucasian women, and inflammatory stimuli affect gene expression in cells related to PCOS, showing a heightened inflammatory state in women with PCOS.
research Retinol-binding protein 4, leptin, and insulin resistance in idiopathic hirsutism and hirsute women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with idiopathic hirsutism and PCOS have higher RBP4 levels, and PCOS is linked to greater insulin resistance; weight management may help both conditions.
research Nesfatin-1 and Vitamin D levels may be associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure values and hearth rate in polycystic ovary syndrome
High Nesfatin-1 and low Vitamin D may increase blood pressure and heart rate in women with PCOS.
research Insulin sensitivity, androgens and isotretinoin therapy in women with severe acne
Isotretinoin improves severe acne without changing androgen or insulin levels but may increase body weight and triglycerides.
research Divergences in insulin resistance between the different phenotypes of the polycystic ovary syndrome
Different types of polycystic ovary syndrome show varying levels of insulin resistance, with the 'PHO' type being the most insulin resistant.
research Polycystic Ovarian Morphology is Associated with Hyperandrogenemia and Insulin Resistance in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Women with PCOS and polycystic ovaries have higher male hormone levels and more insulin resistance, especially if they are overweight.
research SAT-293 Novel Presentation Of A Heterozygous INSR Mutation And Markedly Elevated Testosterone Levels In A Pediatric Patient, A Case Report.
A young patient with unusual insulin resistance and high testosterone levels had a rare INSR gene mutation.
research The association of androgenetic alopecia and insulin resistance is independent of hyperandrogenemia: A case-control study
Hair loss is linked to insulin resistance in women, regardless of hormone levels.
research The influence of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) on the ovarian production of androgens in a context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) – preliminary results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research The relationship between Homeostatic Model Assessment Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) values and pilonidal sinus disease in female adolescents: A retrospective study
High insulin levels may increase the risk of pilonidal sinus disease in female teens.
research Glycation of hair protein in the assessment of long-term control of blood glucose.
Hair glycation levels can indicate long-term blood sugar control.
research Risks for metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases in both male and female patients with androgenetic alopecia
People with androgenetic alopecia, both men and women, are more likely to develop heart diseases in the future.
research Current recommendations for the diagnostic evaluation and follow-up of patients presenting with symptomatic polycystic ovary syndrome
The diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) requires a detailed patient history, ultrasound scanning, hormone level checks, and assessments of ovulation, obesity, and insulin resistance. It's a variable condition that needs individualized management and is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
research The value of the free androgen index depends on the phenotype of polycystic ovary syndrome — a single-centre experience
The free androgen index varies among women with different types of PCOS.
