research Increased androgen bioavailability is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS and higher androgen levels are more likely to have fatty liver disease.
research Improved Efficacy of Low-Dose Spironolactone and Metformin Combination Than Either Drug Alone in the Management of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A Six-Month, Open-Label Randomized Study
Taking low-dose spironolactone and metformin together works better for PCOS symptoms than either drug alone.
research Differential Expression of miR-93 and miR-21 in Granulosa Cells and Follicular Fluid of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Associating with Different Phenotypes

research Prevalence of hepatic steatosis in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS are more likely to have fatty liver disease, especially if they have metabolic problems.
research 17-Hydroxyprogesterone Responses to Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Disclose Distinct Phenotypes of Functional Ovarian Hyperandrogenism and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

research Sex hormone–binding globulin and risk of hyperglycemia in patients with androgenetic alopecia
People with hair loss have higher risk of high blood sugar and diabetes, and lower levels of a specific hormone.
research Androgenetic alopecia and insulin resistance: are they truly associated?
No true link between AGA and insulin resistance, but coexistence may worsen AGA.

Women with severe types of PCOS are more likely to have metabolic syndrome, and belly fat is a key predictor of this risk.
research Metabolic aspects of different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome: Iranian PCOS Prevalence Study
The study suggests that being overweight or obese, not PCOS itself, is strongly linked to insulin resistance.
research Cardiometabolic profile of young women with hypoprolactinemia
Low prolactin in young women may increase heart and metabolism risks.
research Skin Manifestations of Insulin Resistance: From a Biochemical Stance to a Clinical Diagnosis and Management
Certain skin conditions can indicate insulin resistance and should prompt lifestyle changes and medical treatment to manage underlying health issues.
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 Clinical, hormonal and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS with different combined oral contraceptives (containing chlormadinone acetate versus drospirenone)
Both types of oral contraceptives improved symptoms and hormone levels in women with PCOS.
research Increased Insulin Sensitivity by Metformin Enhances Intense-Pulsed-Light-Assisted Hair Removal in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Taking metformin with intense-pulsed-light therapy improves hair removal for people with PCOS.
research Increased frequency of the DI genotype of the angiotensin-I converting enzyme and association of the II genotype with insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome
The study suggests certain ACE gene variations are more common in women with PCOS and may be linked to increased insulin resistance.
research Use of metformin in pediatric age
Metformin helps manage diabetes, PCOS, and weight in kids but needs more research for long-term safety.
research Association between Insulin Resistance and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients
Insulin resistance is common in PCOS patients and linked to obesity and increased cardiovascular risk.

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 Comparison of spironolactone and spironolactone plus metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome
Both treatments reduced excessive hair growth in PCOS, but there was no difference in weight, hair score, hormone levels, or insulin resistance.
