900-930 / 1000+ results research Polycystic ovary syndrome and mental health: a call to action
PCOS significantly affects women's mental health, and more research is needed to develop effective treatments for these issues.
research Effect of finasteride on the ovulatory function of normal women
Finasteride doesn't affect ovulation in normal women.
research Cognitive testing of a survey instrument for self-assessed menstrual cycle characteristics and androgen excess
The survey helps identify menstrual irregularities and excess male hormones, aiming to detect conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research The voices of adult offspring of sperm donation: forces for change within assisted reproductive technology in the United States
Adult offspring of sperm donation generally feel positive about their conception and view the donor as their biological father.
research Factors associated with risk for depression among women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
Women with PCOS and higher BMI, especially those with morbid obesity, are at greater risk for depression.
research Lack of association between clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenism in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Clinical signs of excess male hormones and actual hormone levels in the blood do not always match in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Finasteride and male infertility: a case for prospective collaborative research databases?
Finasteride discontinuation increases sperm count in men.
research Finasteride use in the male infertility population: effects on semen and hormonal parameters
Finasteride may improve sperm count in subfertile men with low sperm count.
research Efficacy and safety of finasteride?
Finasteride is effective and safe.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Complex Interplay of Hormones and Metabolism
PCOS involves hormonal and metabolic issues, increasing risks for diabetes and heart disease, and requires lifestyle changes and medication for management.
research Left ventricular myocardial mass index and its correlates as an early marker of cardiovascular risk among nonobese normotensive Indian women with polycystic ovary syndrome: lessons from a cross-sectional study
Nonobese, normotensive Indian women with PCOS may have a higher risk of heart problems linked to inflammation and insulin resistance.
research Introduction
The conclusion is that it's currently unclear if certain rare medical conditions are caused by specific factors due to mostly observational data.
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 Hallmark evidence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) tolerance in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - LPS-induced NFkB suppression in mononuclear cells (MNC) is linked to hyperandrogenism in PCOS
High levels of testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone before pregnancy are linked to a higher risk of newborns needing intensive care.
research Prospective cohort evaluation of hirsutism and anthropometrics in a south east asian PCOS population
Vietnamese women with PCOS tend to be younger, have larger waists, higher AMH levels, and more body hair than those without PCOS.
research Testosterone (T) secreting tumor or insulin resistance? metformin (M) as a diagnostic (Dx) and therapeutic (Rx) trial
Metformin can help diagnose and treat high testosterone levels in women, often due to insulin resistance rather than a tumor.
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 Prevalence of androgenic alopecia (AGA) in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and characterization of associated clinical and biochemical features
Hair loss is common in women with PCOS and is linked to symptoms like acne and excess hair but not to worse metabolic health.
research Higher androgen and estrogen output and less follicular atresia can be induced in healthy ovaries by culturing them with sera from PCOS patients: is PCOS really of intraovarian origin?
PCOS may be influenced by factors in the blood, not just the ovaries.
research In vivo and in vitro exposure to free fatty acids induce increased androgen production in animal models: a potential pathogenic factor of the polycystic ovary syndrome
Free fatty acids may increase androgen production, potentially contributing to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research The relationship between intimacy and subjective health in couples who undergo infertility treatment
Greater intimacy leads to better self-reported health in couples having infertility treatment.
research Hyperandrogenemia in an ethnically heterogeneous cohort of Midwestern United States diabetic gestations
Exposure to fatty acids significantly increased androgen levels in female dogs, suggesting a link to conditions like insulin resistance and PCOS.
research The perception of donor gametes from male and female members of infertile couples
Men and women in infertile couples feel using donor sperm may cause more stress and marital issues than using donor eggs.
research P-424
Heavier birth weight may increase the risk of early hair graying in women.
research Book review
The book provides a detailed guide on managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and is useful for physicians.
research Effect of norplant on androgens and sexual function
Norplant implants lower some androgen levels but don't significantly change sexual function.
research Affect of a six months treatment regiment of metformin (MET) on 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17P) responses to GnRH agonist (GnRH Ag) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Metformin can start ovulation and may lower 17P response in PCOS, but six months is too short to improve hair growth or change body fat distribution.

Female relatives of PCOS patients have a higher chance of showing PCOS symptoms.
research Test yolk buffer and antisperm antibodies—interaction?
