150-180 / 1000+ resultsresearch 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 Oral glucose tolerance test significantly impacts the prevalence of abnormal glucose tolerance among Indian women with polycystic ovary syndrome: lessons from a large database of two tertiary care centers on the Indian subcontinent
The oral glucose tolerance test is effective in detecting abnormal glucose tolerance in Indian women with PCOS.
research The effects of two doses of spironolactone on serum androgens and anagen hair in hirsute women
Spironolactone reduced hair thickness and some testosterone levels in women with excessive hair growth.
research The influence of androgens on insulin resistance
Higher levels of unbound testosterone are linked to increased insulin resistance, especially in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Prevalence of hyperandrogenemia in the polycystic ovary syndrome diagnosed by the National Institutes of Health 1990 criteria
Most women with PCOS have high levels of male hormones, and free testosterone is the best marker for this.
research Comparison of finasteride versus spironolactone in the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism
Finasteride reduces hair growth better, but spironolactone has more side effects.
research Androgen receptor gene CAG repeat polymorphism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Longer CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
research The hyperandrogenic-insulin-resistant acanthosis nigricans syndrome: therapeutic response
Most patients improved with oral contraceptives, but some needed additional treatment.
research Ketoconazole use in the treatment of ovarian hyperandrogenism
Ketoconazole can treat ovarian hyperandrogenism but should be used cautiously with monitoring and birth control.
research Effect of finasteride on ovulation induction in nonresponder (hyperandrogenic) polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women
Finasteride helps induce ovulation in nonresponder PCOS women.
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 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 Reproductive endocrinologists are the gatekeepers for male infertility care in North America: results of a North American survey on the referral patterns and characteristics of men presenting to male infertility specialists for infertility investigations
Reproductive gynecologists are the main referrers for male infertility evaluations in North America.
research Treatment of hirsutism: comparisons between different antiandrogens with central and peripheral effects
Finasteride, CPA, and flutamide are all equally effective in reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research New Therapeutic Approach to the Hirsute Patient
Spironolactone can reduce hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research A randomized placebo-controlled study on the effects of pioglitazone on cortisol metabolism in polycystic ovary syndrome
Pioglitazone improved insulin sensitivity and altered cortisol metabolism in PCOS patients.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
People with hair loss may have different levels of certain hormones due to changes in hormone processing.
research Treatment of hirsutism with flutamide and a low-dosage oral contraceptive in polycystic ovarian disease patients
Flutamide combined with a low-dose birth control pill effectively reduces excessive hair growth in women with polycystic ovarian disease.
research Postmenopausal virilization after spousal use of topical androgens
A woman developed male traits from accidental contact with her husband's testosterone gel.
research Efficacy of metformin therapy in adolescent girls with androgen excess: relation to sex hormone–binding globulin and androgen receptor polymorphisms
Metformin works better for adolescent girls with PCOS who have certain genetic variations.
research Hirsutism scoring in polycystic ovary syndrome: concordance between clinicians' and patients' self-scoring
Patients with PCOS tend to score their hirsutism higher than clinicians, making self-scoring less useful for diagnosis.
research Serum 3α-androstanediol-glucuronide is decreased in nonhirsute women with acne vulgaris
Women with acne have lower levels of a specific hormone marker than women without acne.
research A “first” on the horizon: the expansion of uterus transplantation to transgender women
Doctors are preparing to potentially perform uterus transplants in transgender women, considering technical, hormonal, and ethical factors.
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 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 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 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 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.
