research Antioxidants and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics
Antioxidants may help improve mitochondrial health and could be used to treat diseases related to cell damage.
research Metabolic Aspects of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS often have metabolic issues like insulin resistance and a higher risk of diabetes and abnormal lipid levels.
research Appropriate use of metformin in early pregnancy: is there a role for first trimester use?
Metformin is safe in early pregnancy for women with PCOS and may reduce certain risks.
research Hirsutism
Excessive hair growth in women, often from high androgen levels, is usually caused by PCOS, and can be treated with hair removal, medication, and possibly weight loss.
research Specific dermatologic features of the polycystic ovary syndrome and its association with biochemical markers of the metabolic syndrome and hyperandrogenism
Hirsutism is a strong sign of high male hormones and metabolic problems in women with PCOS, but acne and hair loss are not.
research Age-related differences in the reproductive and metabolic implications of polycystic ovarian syndrome: findings in an obese, United States population
Older obese women with PCOS have higher cardiovascular and metabolic risks despite lower androgen levels.
research Chromium supplementation does not improve weight loss or metabolic and hormonal variables in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome: A systematic review
Chromium supplements don't help with weight loss or improve hormone and metabolism issues in people with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Association of Gly972Arg variant of insulin receptor subtrate-1 and Gly1057Asp variant of insulin receptor subtrate-2 with polycystic ovary syndrome in the Chinese population
The IRS-2 Asp/Asp genotype may increase the risk of PCOS in Chinese women, especially if they are not obese.
research The effect of alfacalcidiol and metformin on metabolic disturbances in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Metformin effectively improves metabolic symptoms in women with PCOS, while alfacalcidiol does not have a significant impact.
research Discovery of genes and proteins possibly regulating mean wool fibre diameter using cDNA microarray and proteomic approaches
Researchers identified genes and proteins that may influence wool thickness in sheep.
research Metformin effects on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Metformin may help regulate periods and cause modest weight loss in PCOS patients, but more research is needed.
research Alopecia universalis successfully treated at Dr. Batra's
Homeopathy successfully treated complete hair loss in a man.
research A Case Report of Association between Canine Hypothyroidism and Diabetes
Canine hypothyroidism can be linked to diabetes, requiring thorough testing for proper diagnosis.
research Is lichen planus a marker for dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome?
Lichen planus may be associated with a higher risk of metabolic syndrome.
research Hair loss in women
The document concludes that hair loss in women is complex, often linked to aging, health conditions, and nutritional deficiencies, and emotional impacts should not be underestimated.
research The frequency of polycystic ovary syndrome in women with prediabetes compared with normoglycemic women
Women with prediabetes may have a higher risk of PCOS-like changes, especially if they have impaired glucose tolerance.
research Dermal Adipocyte Lipolysis and Myofibroblast Conversion Are Required for Efficient Skin Repair
Fat cells in the skin help start healing and form important repair cells after injury.
research Androgenic Effects on Ventricular Repolarization
ADT, especially enzalutamide, may increase the risk of heart rhythm problems and sudden death in men.
research Suppression of fibroblast proliferation and lysyl hydroxylase activity by minoxidil.
Minoxidil slows fibroblast growth and collagen production, potentially treating keloids, hypertrophic scars, and connective tissue disorders.
research Genetic Defects in Human Pericentrin Are Associated With Severe Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
People with PCNT mutations often develop severe insulin resistance and early-onset diabetes during childhood or adolescence.
research Autophagy is essential for maintaining the growth of a human (mini-)organ: Evidence from scalp hair follicle organ culture
Autophagy is important for human hair growth and health.
research (Neuro-)endocrinology of epithelial hair follicle stem cells
Hormones and neuroendocrine factors control hair growth and color, and more research could lead to new hair treatment options.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
The French Endocrine Society suggests diagnosing PCOS with two of three signs, recommends lifestyle changes and clomiphene for treatment, and calls for more research on certain treatments and tests.
research Androgenic alopecia and insulin resistance: are they really related?
There is no significant link between male pattern baldness and insulin resistance.
research Is Xanthine oxidase activity in polycystic ovary syndrome associated with inflammatory and cardiovascular risk factors?
Women with PCOS have higher xanthine oxidase activity linked to inflammation and heart disease risks.
research Health-related quality of life and physical well-being among a 63-year-old cohort of women with androgenetic alopecia; a Finnish population-based study
Women with androgenetic alopecia experience worse physical well-being and quality of life, but similar mental health compared to those without it.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
