Eating high glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research Surrogate end-points or primary outcomes in clinical trials in women with polycystic ovary syndrome?
The document suggests that clinical trials for PCOS should focus on meaningful primary outcomes like live birth rates, rather than less reliable surrogate markers.
research Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and the polycystic ovary syndrome: A systematic review
The review found no clear link between vitamin D receptor gene variations and polycystic ovary syndrome.
research The Female Pattern Hair Loss: Review of Etiopathogenesis and Diagnosis
Female pattern hair loss involves hormonal factors, genetics, and may be linked to low ferritin levels.

It's unclear which molecules best characterize dry skin due to inconsistent findings.
research Afamin serum concentrations are associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in polycystic ovary syndrome
High afamin levels are linked to metabolic syndrome and may predict its development in women with insulin resistance.
research Differential effects of melatonin as a broad range UV-damage preventive dermato-endocrine regulator
Melatonin protects skin against UV damage by regulating various cellular processes.
research Significant effects of mild endogenous hormonal changes in humans: considerations for low-dose testing.
Small changes in hormones can significantly impact health, showing the importance of sensitive testing for chemicals that disrupt hormones.
research Women's midlife health Reframing menopause
The document concludes that menopause should be seen as a natural part of aging and managed with personalized care and informed choices.
research Through the lens of hair follicle neogenesis, a new focus on mechanisms of skin regeneration after wounding
Hair can regrow in large wounds through a process similar to how hair forms in embryos, and understanding this could lead to new treatments for hair loss or scarring.
research Evaluating hair growth promoting effects of candidate substance: A review of research methods
The document concludes that while lab results for hair growth promotion are promising, human trials are needed and better testing methods should be developed.
research Systematically optimized coenzyme q10-loaded novel proniosomal formulation for treatment of photo-induced aging in mice: characterization, biocompatibility studies, biochemical estimations and anti-aging evaluation
The new CoQ10 gel protects mouse skin better against aging from UV light than the old gel.
research Inactivation of autophagy leads to changes in sebaceous gland morphology and function
Autophagy is crucial for normal sebaceous gland function and sebum composition.
research iNKT cells ameliorate human autoimmunity: Lessons from alopecia areata
iNKT cells can help prevent and treat alopecia areata by promoting hair regrowth.
research PKC downregulation upon rapamycin treatment attenuates mitochondrial disease
Rapamycin treatment helps with mitochondrial disease by reducing PKC levels.
research Cholesterol homeostasis: Links to hair follicle biology and hair disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research Expression of AKT1 along with AKT2 in granulosa-lutein cells of hyperandrogenic PCOS patients
The study found that women with hyperandrogenic PCOS have higher levels of AKT1 and AKT2 proteins in their cells, which may lead to cell dysfunction.
research VEGF upregulates VEGF receptor-2 on human outer root sheath cells and stimulates proliferation through ERK pathway
