High afamin levels are linked to metabolic syndrome and may predict its development in women with insulin resistance.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Metabolic aspects of different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome: Iranian PCOS Prevalence Study
